I've gotten real pissed at my phone, for rebooting 3-4 times in a row. By that I mean, once it boots back up, it reboots again. I have no clue what's causing this issue. I'm running the ViperS rom (the one that was took down), and the faux kernel (v23 b6, since v24 won't install in my recovery) with it. I'm thinking of flashing Stock RUU again, so everything can be 'out of the box' sort of. It might be an application I installed, I have absolutely no clue. I'm also thinking of un-rooting and rooting it again, so a fresh start. Do you guys have any tips/solutions that might help out my problem, before i go berserk?
hmm im pretty sure your rom wasn't flashed properly if your experiencing reboots... but why would you want to flash a rom that isn't being supported and then post problems lols... why not go with a current stable/nightly rom lol..?

I always flash the superwipe zip right before i flash a rom, is that properly ?
and I flashed that rom because its the only one that catches my attention , but Eclipse's bulletproof is very similar to the ViperS rom, so I might try out that rom lol, and I'm more into Sense, TouchWiz, and stuff like that.

I think its the kernel... Reflash the viper s Rom without wiping and it will put the correct kernel in place. Also are you overclocked or underclocked? Those could be problems.too

I'm not sure which one I am, I dont have system tuner or setCPU installed so the settings are whatever v24 faux kernel is.
UPDATE: Its not the kernel, because i tried it on eclipse rom and i still had the same problem
This is a total pain in the ass, my phone reboots upwards of 10 times a day, and with the Amaze's unamazing boot time, it really sucks.
I've tried everything. Stock RUU's, Custom Rom/Kernels. Everything. Nothing is working.
First I tried overheating tests. I wrapped the phone in blankets and ran a couple benchmarks with things running in the background. No fail.
Next I tried a discharge test. Charged to 100, let the phone sit idle while logcat was running, found nothing.
I've ran memtests = nada, no reboot
HOWEVER, I found that if you have only the Amaze on you, and you are on a lunch break waiting to pay for food and you need to make a transfer, the phone will crash.
I've used logcat and tried to capture what is happening, and all it shows is a cutoff, nothing happens, the battery just dies.
Something is messed up with the hardware itself, or the batteries, although I've never heard of the Dopods or Sensations (They use the same batteries) dying like this, so I don't know.
This is my second Amaze, by the way. My sister has the same problem, she is running stock.
My results: The Amaze is a ****, and all it wants to do is waste my time.

That happens to me and i so agree with you! it really does suck but i have a update for everyone.
UPDATE: I see the reboots happening after my battery pasts the 40 percent, could this be a clue to a solution?
For some odd reason, batteries going bad has been a very common issue with the amaze. That could very well be the source of your problem. There has been a few people here in the forums that have had multiple batteries go bad on them. Not sure if its something this phone does to them or what but ya that might be the prob

I flashed Trigger 3.0 when it first came out, I was so happy with the rom that I took a abreak from flashing different roms. A week ago I started to get some force closes and they became a bit more frequent. Over the past couple of days I have been looking for a new rom to run. I started with Explodingboy's Simply Honey 3.6, then tried Simply Honey v1.0XE and Heathen's Private stock 2.0. Each time I flashed a rom I came started by odin-ing to JDF first.
With all of the roms I got the same problem, which leads me to thing it's hardware based rather than the roms. I would flash the rom, the rom would work fine for a few hrs then the phone would freeze while asleep. The only way to wake the phone was to do a battery pull. This sleep freeze would happen 30-40% of the time the phone would go to sleep.
I'm going to try to flash a 2.2 rom and see if my phone does any better, the others were 2.3.3 or 2.2.1
What kernel are you running?
Hardware takes quite a bit of abuse to deteriorate. In fact, most "hardware parts" will just simply die, not slowly deteriorate.

With Trigger 3.0 I was running overstock OC/OV, with no problems for many weeks.
Once I started looking for a new rom, a few days ago, I always used the default kernel.
Do you mean ODIN to JDK?
Thats the stock base for Vibrant.
Side note: I have been unable to use my screen while device is plugged in, to dosent make the right touches and bounces around the screen...I was thinking I needed to ODIN to JDK, so I did... nothing changed, now I'm thinking I might need to get a new phone... #FYI
Thats actually pretty interesting. For awhile I had the same problem it just wasn't as frequent as yours. I'm using the Overstock kernel which I think it was what mine was related to. I had my sleep profile in setCPU set really low, I bumped it up and havn't had any problems since.

To the OP, maybe you've restored some corrupt titanium data. Only restore apps and no system data after a fresh flash and see what happens.
How about u coding to stock and leave it alone see if u have same problem if not then its not hardware related

I second this. Go back to stock, and see what happens. Also, do NOT restore any backups at all, leave everything clean.
Also you can try and use System Panel, and see wich apps are running in the background, and then Titanium Backup to freeze app by app (not system apps of course) and see if any of these are causing you the FCs.
Hey all thanks for all the responses. I was reading them all yesterday but did not want to reply and jinx my trigger 3.2 flash. I've now been running trigger 3.2 for close to a day and no FCs.
I can say I did anything different with this flash to make it more stable. I went back to JFD via odin and use Ti to restore user apps and system apps (ONLY: wifi, bluetooth, user dictionary, and MMS)
thanks again for everyones help.
Glad to hear it is worked out.
I know I have seen several people indicate they too had a 3vo that would randomly reboot, even before rooting or adding any apps. I was in the same boat but after hassling with best buy/sprint I decided to suck it up and flash like crazy until October since I had another upgrade coming in the family plan I could steal. Since then I have noticed that I don't have reboot problems on any of the ICS roms . Not sure why but, just thought I would share for anyone else out there still dealing with reboots for no apparent reason. Thx for a glimmer of hope all you devs out there!

Never had a reboot or random issue stock and unrooted even when I rooted .. Only reboot I would of had was due to a rom being in alpha mode or a nightly that had issues..

Its just the devs perfecting their work, no one ever thinks about smaller but important jobs that have to be completed, I can have an ICS rom with full HWACC, camera AND 4g but if my phone reboots every 20 mins the experience dies.! So thank your local developer for a job well done and consider a donation or two if you have the funds to do so

A alpha can have issues and cause a reboot.. A beta is more stable. Always check the OP and the log they have to make sure what issues it may have.
Tho the OP was talkin about Stock phone ... I have no idea why you would get a reboot stock unless you messed with a funky app...
Also could be hardware related .. But I am leaning more to a app.

Than you are lucky, my first 3D started randomly rebooting even after reverting completely to stock. The replacement one I got would randomly reboot, it was stock with s-on straight from sprint. My current one would randomly reboot but not as bad as the other two, but it has been a lot better since i have been running joelz's ICS kang.
My first Evo 3D started rebooting about 30 minutes after I bought the phone and took it home. It would reboot at least once every 24 hours. I never rooted that phone, ran 100% factory stock. Later exchanged the phone for a new Evo and never had anymore issues.
When mine was stock, I had random reboots happen maybe once or so a day and it got worse as time went on. I flashed the RPM zip (and the radio I believe) from this thread and it has worked perfect ever since! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223979
i have tried almost all the roms out there, sense, no sense etc and the rezound is SO laggy. especially on ICS. the last thing i tried yesterday, was the stock LEaked ICS, and i debloated it myself, and it is so slow. i had to do a battery pull 4 times on the way home last night while using instagram. honestly, im using my INC2 now, and it is so much less laggy and faster on both, ICS and GB
the specs are so nice, but man, its terrible. the ONLY thing i have not tried are custom GB roms. i SO love the look and feel of this phone, and the battery life is good. but man, i cant take the laggyness. i sooooo want to solve this
thoughts?
maybe you have a lemon?
Not sure what lag you're seeing. Mine is pretty good. Every now and then some lag will creep up but overall its lagfree and snappy.
Most roms I've tried even gb roms are somewhat laggy except rezrom gb. Nils business ics is also good for me. Ics lag is mainly due to kernel as there is no source yet. Is the stock Rom laggy for you as well? I've noticed this phone doesn't respond too well to underclocking like my EVO did

duel core?
Also, coming from a 512mb phone that was also dual core this phone flies
its just the battery life that's ****
yeah that sounds like you just got a bad phone. I'm running new ICS leak, Rooted, desensed myself and whatnot, also put it into tablet mode and it flies like crazy! No overheating or bad battery life. Ya got yourself a lemon.

How does one define lag anyways? What I might think is fast and quick maybe to slow for you. But as the others have said you may have a lemon. Look in the general thread for on how to s on. You will have to run the latest Gb ruu then do the s on command. I do not know it of the top of my head right now.. but make sure you are on a signed stock hboot before you s on
there's got to be something wrong with your phone. i'm still on stock & performance wise it's comperable to the galaxy nexus. oh and battery life sucks on all 4g phones.

Very true....i define lag as, when i press the home button, it takes a sec or two to get to home, all other phones i have owned goes right to home. opening apps, kinda slow compared to other phones as well. typing, VERY laggy unless i shut off vibration and the pop ups...
try factory reset it help sometimes after debloating

its lags everytime ?

I do a fair bit of texting all day & using Smart Keyboard Pro with vibration/popups on I get absolutely no lag whatever.

Ahh hrm maybe it's just the Sense 4.0 ROM's that Instagram may or may not work on....haven't run a 3.6 ROM in a long time
I have a similar problem to the original post. It has been taking about 2-3 seconds to enter settings, bookmarks within browser, etc. I have boiled it down to maybe a hardware issue. My phone ran great on GB though, so idk.I am rooted with s-off on the ICS leak with the fixed kernel. It usually runs good after first installing a rom, but then lag along. And this is with no apps downloaded.
I have another unrooted, non s-off Rezound with GB and it flies. I think I am going to switch to that. Hopefully when we get official ICS I can compare the two devices.
Long story short, I have the same problem but I am finding most people don't have this lag issue. Don't know what is causing it. Maybe I screwed up my hardware during s-off.

I have no clue, good question though. Worth looking into for others. Although I think there is a way to get back to S-ON in a thread in the Development section? My phone was Stock S-Off so I lucked out with that, so I'm sure I can, I'm sure you would be able too as well.
Well, I've had my vibrant and my gs2 for a long time and have always flashed all kinds of roms on both. I'm no pro but I try to learn from the people here. But lately I can't figure out what's wrong with my vibrant. I tried resetting it with odin and flashing different, stable, well known roms on it but it still acts funny. It will work for a bit then start shutting off, not letting me turn it on and just shows the spinning star circle for a little bit. I have to plug it in and mess with it a little to get it to turn on or go in download mode. I've searched a lot, tried to find a solution but nothing so this is my last resort. I'd like to hear form people who had the same problem and what did you do please
I just managed to get it to turn on again but I don't know what to do before it goes off again. It is on ics passion v13.1. It's also unlocked. If this is some stupidly simple problem I'm sorry but I am seriously getting annoyed with the phone. Thanks for any help.
Well Passion is definitely dated, and not in a good way. If ICS is your choice flavor, by all means don't let me talk you out of it.....
However. I personally suggest you Odin back to stock, with repartition checked and flash up to Helly Bean. I haven't used CM10 yet (official build) so I can't comment personally on it, but you could try that. At least they are new and still very much supported.
GPS is broken, and 911 may not work, but those issues aside I've heard nothing but good things about them. I've been on Helly Bean since 8/12 and it's quite smooth.
Your issue might be kernel related. Keep us posted on what route you take, maybe we'll learn more about your problem and discover a solution.

Your battery could possibly be going bad. If it still acts funny on stock JFD then its probably your battery. I would flash back to stock 2.1 with Odin and see if the problem goes away, then flash back to ics if that's what you want. You could maybe try calibrating your battery too, not likely to be the problem but worth a shot.

Hi,
I'm having severe problems with my Amaze for weeks now. Thing is, I can't find a ROM that just works for me, nothing fancy or special, I just want to flash something and use my phone rather than flashing ROM every few hours.
First let me tell you about my phone:
It's T-Mobile Amaze 4G, S-ON and with 4EXT recovery.
My problems are that:
1) After each phone restart, most of the times phone doesn't find my SD card and as I store my apps on it, I have to restart again and again and hope for a time that it does find my SD card.
2) Whenever I tweak a ROM, even a bit, and I don't mean hack, just using the option the ROM itself provides like tweaks that Revolution does, phone crashes constantly and I have to reflash.
3) I have severe problems with ICS ROMs that seem stable and people are saying that they use regularly.
4) Even if I don't try to customize a ROM, phone gets into weird problems like crashes at startup or stuck at htc logo that leaves me into reflash.
I got this phone from my brother who was using 2.x ROMs on it but I wanted Nexus look so I upgraded to ICS with ph185.img and then been trying almost all ROMs but I'm yet to find something that I can safely put my sim card in it without worrying that it might miss a call or drain battery fast.
I first wanted Nexus pure android look but I now fell back to htc stock look and been trying all other ROMs, even though downloading ROMs is very expensive. Maybe I have to S-OFF and fall back to 2.3.4 ROMs.
Any help is highly appreciated as I'm so desperate and can't afford another phone for at least a year.
Thanks.
