So just a few minutes ago, I had my phone on my desk and out of the corner of my eye I noticed my screen went from off to on, and not my lockscreen, but the white HTC logo that you get when the phone boots up. It just up and rebooted on its own. The last few things I did was update Kernel Manager and install IP Address Widget. Running 4.4.2 kernel and BAMF 1.5-NTE.
Any Ideas?
are you overclocking at all?
were you tethering?
was the phone hot?
Are you familiar with ADB?
Same thing happened to me a little while ago, BAMF remix 1.5 o/ced to 1.2. Been stable for about 30 minutes since reboot.

Didn't have my SetCPU to o/c
No tethering
I'm pretty sure it wasn't hot
I do know how to use ADB
Ive been having this same problem lately. It seems to happen primarily when i have aDownloader running(torrent app). It did happen once though while i was playing Angry Birds. I called Verizon about it but was told the only kkown issue with the TB is the battery issue... An in store rep however stated that he dealt with this problem before and said its an issue with the battery contacts and to clean them. I did give them a cleaning but the phone still reboots by itself. Its only happened about 3-4 times in the past week but still annoying nonetheless.
Had it happen again today on the way home.
BAMF Remix 1.5 o/ced to 1.2ghz.
On 4G
In the car dock on the car charger running nav.
After the reboot I checked the temp in SetCPU and I was running 40c. Turned off the charger and killed Car Home and the temp dropped like a rock to the mid 20s with in 5-10 minutes.
Same thing with 4.4.2 kernel. Maybe just too undervolted for some of our phones.

Mine is still STOCK. It does reboot every now and then. So I can proudly say that it isn't just because of the rooted/flashed, OCed and whatnot. I wonder what could be causing it? Oh and my stock text messaging app slows to a crawl and pulls the E-brake. I have to reboot to get it working again.
Most of the people I've seen reporting reboots had it after they updated to the leaked RUU. if it was happening to me on stock I would complain very loudly to Verizon.
I haven't rooted yet either, and the mysterious reboot happened twice.

Happened herw too. I had the problem when i first rooted. The phone would restart in bootloader. Now after I applied new RUU and radio I noticed phone restarted but no bootloader just regular. I am not sure if it is now from me killing some app and the phone doesn't like that.
This is a known problem for some people who have upgraded to the leaked RUU. BAMF 1.5 is a rom that is based off of that leak. Some people have reported random reboots, with & without OC'ing. Only other option right now is to use a rom that doesn't use the new base.
I think it may be the radio and not the OS part of the leak... I am using Perfect Storm 1.3 and updated ONLY the radio because I do not have the time at the moment to reset everything the way I like it... and I am getting the random reboots... 3 so far today... ive been trying to find a way to go back to the old Radio until this is sorted out... anyone know where I can find that?
Whatever is causing it its clear that its not a root issue since its happening to people whove rooted as well as people who havent rooted. As my last post stated, its happened to me 3-4 times this week and i havent rooted.
I do feel its b.s. that the verizon rep is blaming it dirty battery contacts.
I really think it's app related. Mine has rebooted twice. My wife's has done it at least 3 times a week. Although I noticed mine will be close to a dead battery when it does it. The wife's is just random. That's why I am leaning on app. I have since rooted mine on stock. I have not seen a reboot yet. Both times mine did it I was watching a long youtube video. Wife's is just sitting there when it reboots.

Run "adb logcat" and try to force the issue....If it is the same as mine, coming out of airplane mode causes the problem:
See the last line before the phone powers down:

We never set airplane mode. And I haven't had it happen since I rooted last week. The wife has had it reboot again though. One more time and I am taking to the store and making them swap it. I am beginning to think it is an actual hardware issue of some kind in hers.

HTC evo has the same problem, I had mine replaced 4 times for the same problem, is HTC radio isue. HTC sucks.
I was reading this forum bc I am thinking to switch from my evo and Sprint buy I see most of the same problems. So I am going to wait.

That's very interesting to hear yours is rebooting while on STOCK. This whole time, we've been under the impression it was our radios or possibly roms. Have you had any more reboots?
I had 4 reboots within an one hour running the latest radio leak and das bamf 1.5 remix.
I'm running Lightning ROM 3.3.1 with Minimalistic kernel extreme for the past 12 hours and haven't had one reboot.
I have 2 of these at work, both stock.
One reboots 3-4 times a week. The other is perfect- 0 reboots.
I replaced the bad one under warranty. The warranty replacement also reboots 3-4 times a week (they sent me a "new" one with no battery/accessories)
So Yesterday I swapped the batteries between my good Tbolt and my new replacement Tbolt to see if its a battery issue.... still waiting on results, so far no reboots on both
I am starting to think that its a charger issue though.
The good phone is charged once per day (overnight)
The bad ones are charged 2-3 times per day with different chargers (home, car, work). We notice that usually it reboots while its being charged or soon after its disconnected from a charger.
Has anyone else noticed that the Photon seems to self reboot at odd times. I have yet to have it reboot on me while using it, but my wife's Photon has rebooted on her during active use.
Anyone else experiencing this?
No, but you leave alot of unanswered questions. Is your wife rooted? what is she running (app's) that you are not running?
I have heard of this before and if i remember, delete everything and start new, just putting a few app's at a time back on. When it starts acting up, you found your app!

Shockingly enough, I did suddenly get that twice yesterday after updating YouTube. However I've been unable to reproduce it with any level of consistency at this point.
For the two Photons I have access too (both are doing the same thing), one is rooted one is not.
Apps in common are:
Enhanced email.
ADW Launcher
Car Home.
My feeling is that more people are having this issue they just don't know about it... I found it because I went to recently used apps and there were none, then I started to watch it...

I've experienced it a couple of times while playing music. A song would be playing and then it would suddenly reboot.
I'm using Google Music...
I've heard of that happening before the 154 update came out. So not sure if you're on the latest OTA or Leak why you'd be getting it, unless as someone mentioned it was an app. Which is possible I s'pose.
i did noticed that when the phone is in the charger,when i take a call
while the phone plugged in i hear no voice and the phone reboots
the phone was pretty hot when it happens so i can assume it's a heat problem
(in my case)
Mine has been rebooting more and more frequently. I went to Sprint today and had them order me a replacement. I'm hoping the new one does not have this issue.
Have you tried wiping data and cache then installing the latest leak?
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Just curiues How does wipeing data helps rebooting problems?
You do that before flashing the latest leak. You won't do any good otherwise.

What latest leak? The 198_7?
Yes sir. That's the latest leak/OTA update. Though the reboot issue was fixed for most people with the 154 update. I previously had that issue as well. So you could try that, but not saying it will for sure fix it. That's really the only idea I have, unless you try uninstall your apps and see if it's an app related issue.
Had same famous random reboot issue, after 154 update and a wipe.
Exchanged for new Photon at Best Buy (no hassle swap) 3-4 weeks ago, So far no random reboots. For me, I believe it was hardware related, noticed the phone was getting fairly warm around the same time the random reboots started happening.

I guess it could be hardware related, but that WAS a known issue when the first Photons came out. I had to exchange mine three times due to the reboot issue before the tech told me it was a reported and known issue and they would be releasing a fix for it.
My Evo 4G and EVO 3D both did this sometimes (both stock, not rooted, hardly any 3rd party apps) when signal strength was low.
My Photon does it much less often (did it once today though, but I'm in Canada roaming). My Photon is rooted, but pretty vanilla.
I have gone with all of the OTA's, and have yet to have a reboot.

There was some dude who had this issue and he stuck a business card at the space near the top of the battery to keep it lodged with the connections near the bottom. Supposed ly this worked....but you probably want to get a phone that works straight up.

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.

I'm in the same boat as the OP.
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!

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.

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?

First of all, my phone is running jellybomb version 2, freeza beastmode kernel 2.0 and cpu running at 2.7. I've never had problems before until one day I downloaded a file that had a virus, so I decided to do a restore using twrp. The restore failed and my phone and it got screwed, I've tried several methods to get it running again and I finally found the solution. I flashed the brickbug file and it was fixed. Now I noticed that sometimes when I restart the phone, it won't restart, it just powers off. There are also times when my phone just blacks out and freezes and I have to do a battery pull. There are also incidents where after boot up from a restart or battery pull, my touch screen won't respond. It's really weird. I dirty flashed to jellybomb version 2 from version 1, I doubt that's the issue since these problems started happening after I flashed brickbug to fix my phone. Anyone know what could be wrong or a fix? It's not a huge issue since my phone works fine most of the time, but it gets a bit annoying when the problem does happen. Last resort would be wipe absolutely everything and start over..

Honestly my phone does the same with occasional random reboots and lock ups requiring battery pulls (Even the power button-menu-power up didn't restart to twrp) and even then restarting doesn't usually go without a hitch. Even when I was running stock root my phone would get stuck at the yellow sprint screen from time to time and I'd have to go TWRP and wipe Dalvik and Cache, then Dalvik again to get it to reboot.. The only reason I didn't unroot was was because even when my phone was new and out of the box, stock it wouldn't reboot cleanly all the time.
It got a little better after the firmware updates but it still hasn't gone away entirely.
I do expect it to get cleared up eventually but for now just take it as a fact of life with this phone.

Yeah, I've been wiping dalvik and cache too, to get my phone back to normal at times too.

Sounds like its the beastmode kernel issues. Flash version 1.8 and see if that fixes your issues.
I would run the MJ4 tar via Odin to start totally fresh.
I am having a similar issue. my phone will just reboot on its own and freeze up a lot. i dont think its the kernel because it has been happening ever since i first installed the jellybomb rom and had a lite kernel installed. now switched to beast 2.3 and still having the same issues. im gonna flash 1.8 and see if it gets any better. but people are posting positive results on the 2.3 . dont know what to do. its frustrating

Before going through all that mess, toss on a stock kernel and see if your issues go away. You'll narrow down the issues right quick.

My phone has been doing this from the time i took it out of the box on October 4. It was ever worse then, so much so that I returned the phone exchanged it for a new one. The problems continued and I questioned my decision to upgrade to the Note 3 but then the firmware upgrades improved things a little.
I can tolerate the issues now and I do expect them to go away on future updates

I flashed 2.3 kernel and it seemed to fix most problems.. I just get Internet shutdowns here and there.. So far that's the only problem.

2.3 is the shiz, bro. I know some have issues with it, but for me it far exceeds even 1.8. Even with no overclocking, 1.8 would do odd stuff, like go to off when I'd selected restart (plugged in or not), &c. With 2.3, I've yet to run into any issues, the phone behaves as I've directed it. I overclock it using profiles in SetCPU, and the cores stay cool. With 1.8, no such luck.
As to Internet shutdowns, I have found that the browser plays a role in things. Having never used the stock browser, I switch mainly between boat browser and chrome, and both will occasionally freeze. Long back press to kill is my fallback.

what your describing
Your phones should run flawlessly all the time. I would take issue that when the phone starts acting buggy, it's just normal for this phone.....I disagree with that, there is a issue somewhere if you have these issues occasionally.
Just my 2 cents
Well it took my slack ass a couple weeks to flash the stock kernel due to my issues. and after a few days my phone hasnt randomly rebooted. So i take it my phone is not liking the BEAST right now? This is just some poopoo.
