I have a strange problem i am trying to track down, this ONLY started with 2.2 The hard part is that this doesnt happen everytime, sometimes when i reboot the streak it will either get stuck at the first dell screen and not boot further, or it will factory reset itself. Sometimes it will reboot on its own and do a factory reset. At first i thought it was the rom as i was using dj steve's, but then i loaded dell's 2.2 and am experiencing the same problem.
Before and after each install i have done the factory dell reset, and have also done the wipe data/wipe cache/wipe dalvik from clockwork, and i still yeild the same results.
Does anyone have any ideas on what the possible cause of this could be? I have seen talks of reboots, but no talks of chronic factory resets.
Check if it happens when you bump the phone flat against a table. If so it is the battery losing contact. I had the same problem (but without the factory reset) - fixed it by sticking a piece of paper under the battery. Hope this helps.

unfortunately its not a battery issue. Most of the time, i initiate the reboot and when it boots back up it does a factory reset. I have only had it reboot itself twice with factory reset.
I'd be seeking a replacement asap
I had issues with my DS on the weekend after having it for only 1 day, but realised that SetCPU was giving it grief. After a full reset and without using SetCPU, no probs, up time is now 73hrs and counting

Thats kinda what i was thinking, except this didnt happen until i started messing with 2.2. However i do realize this could be completely coincidental. I am planning on putting this back to factory 1.6 tonight and running that for a few days to see if i still have the same issue. Was mainly looking to see if anyone else had the same problem, otherwise i would say it seems to be an isolated incident!
Actually, I have noticed another issue with my DS. Sometimes when I turn off and turn back on, the button lights turn on, but no Dell logo. Just sits there until I pull the battery..
Doesnt happen all the time, but it is very strange.

I had a similar issue related to this. Basically it would boot to the dell logo, but wouldnt boot to the dell animation. I could let it sit there for 10 minutes and hold down the camera button and still get to fastboot, or volume keys and get to recovery.. Im pretty sure my phone is F'd so im gonna send it back.
I'm curious, when I restart my phone, it turns off (Deletes the Dalvick cache, i'm sure) .. but does'nt turn back on... is that normal? generally Restart, you'd think would mean, well that it would turn back on. when i hit power it turns on no problem.
i dont think it deletes the dalvik cache But someone correct me if I am mistaken. My old Evo 3d did that as well. I ended up getting a different one and it reboots fine. It might have been a program or setting i had. try doing a factory reset and if it still does it, get the phone swapped out
Mine is doing the same thing after soff, rebooted fine before.
And I accidentally made a dup thread with the same issue, my bad
Hey gf was playing game (defender) and the battery died so after pulling the battery I got the cell to startup but it would show the bootloader or anything so after just letting it charge at the chargeing screen retryed starting up and left it for a couple hours still nothing and then I left it for a bit and decided to try it again and I got a backlight so I let it go for a couple more mins then normal it it went straight to the lockscreen with no bootloader I think something happened to the delvik chache since that usely makes it take longer to boot and nothing was changed so I don't think anyother chache or factory default was deleted the cell has pesopefect ROM any advice on what might of happened and how to prevent it from happening again

Try reflashing the rom again wiping cache and dalvik cache
Will give that a try I also noticed the other day when I was useing her cell that it no longer locks and the home button dousent work except to turn the screen on I suspect this will be fixed once I flash the Rom but for future problem is their a quick fix for this?
Was resetting my 920, got the whirling cogs on screen. Left the phone after several hours still the cogs on screen. Phone ran out of power & put it on charge & still the cogs. I presume a reset shouldn't take this long so how do I get it out of reset?
Update. Managed to finally kick out of reset with a soft reset, amazing that finally worked as I thought it was bricked.
Never rooted this phone before, was just trying to reset the phone. I did factory reset through recovery mode and now I get the white tmobile screen and blue led screen and it just hangs and the phone gets super hot.
Is there anyway to recover this phone to factory settings or is it dead now? I don't really get what I did wrong.
At one point i was in download mode and it said it was downloading something but my battery fell out so idk if thats what messed it up but i've tried several resets since and it keeps hanging.
