I've experienced 4 or 5 so far since getting the phone yesterday. I rooted it, installed Launcher Pro, Tapatalk, Twitter, set up email sync for work, but otherwise I haven't done anything extravagant with it.
I've had 2 reboots today, goes to the red dual core Motorola core logo and then comes back up.
First time I was using speedtest.net app. Second time all I did was try to swipe my finger to unlock the phone.
Any one else?

I seem to be having some random reboots as well. I haven't rooted it yet because it was doing this and I wasn't sure why.
Did you add in an email account as a "Corporate Sync" account?
I was thinking that this was causing my problem and deleted my work account which I set up as a corporate sync account.
So far I haven't had any reboots but it's still to early to tell if this actually fixed the problem.
I had 3 random reboots and 4 random freeze followed by a random reboot.
not too happy atm.
I've had the phone since 9am PST, and no reboots.
Exchange your phones.
I just started a thread about this. Had one random reboot today.

I am using corporate sync.
I just did a reset and will see what happens. I also have a second Atrix for the GF and I will see if she has had any reboots. She also uses LauncherPro but doesn't use corporate sync.

Had mine for 4 days. No reboots and not rooted.

It would be nice to establish if this is a wide spread problem. I don't want to get another rebooting phone. I would like to establish if this should be permanently returned.
Fortunately I'll by watching the second unit I have closely too.

Yeah, removing the corporate sync account didn't help me. It just rebooted on me then when it came back it froze and then rebooted again hahah.

Are you using launcher pro?
I used the phone all day yesterday no reboots. Today I installed launcher pro & it rebooted on me after 7 hrs. So Launcher pro seems to be the culprit?
I reset the device, loaded all my apps except launcher pro and it hasn't reboot yet in 4 hours. This was after initial root.
GF is still using Launcher Pro but hasn't reported the issue although she hardly does anything but make phone calls on it.
Will check back tomorrow.
Any one else?
Anyone with reboots using Advanced Task Killer by RECHILD?

Nope. I am using the default stock launcher and don't have Advanced Task Killer installed. The device isn't rooted either, I was waiting until this got sorted out first haha.
When I first saw this yesterday I thought I did something weird and did a factory reset. It seemed like it worked but then it started rebooting again. This morning it must have rebooted at least 8 times when showing it to other people haha. There was one time when it froze and I couldn't do anything and holding the power button wouldn't shut it down, I eventually had to pull the battery. There was another time when it rebooted and the red led was flashing for a while but it eventually started up again.
After that I deleted my corporate sync email account and I thought that worked but then when I got home it started doing it again.
Please let me know how your phones do.
I just had it happen to me for the First time. Didn't do it until after I rooted (could be just a coincidence) I was plugged into USB and connected to Moto Media Link. I have Advanced Task Killer and some other apps installed but no launcher. FYI I'll track whether this keeps happening or not and when.
I have noticed some random reboots as well. Not rooted but do have Advanced Task Killer installed as well a few other random applications.
I will keep an eye on it the next day or so and reset the phone if it doesn't stop.
Probably should remove Advanced Task Killer don't really need it with the Task manager installed.
I ended up going to the ATT store and they gave me a new phone. So far I have had no issues and I haven't been able to make it reboot.
On the old device I was able to make it reboot by just opening apps one after another and in a few mins it would reboot or freeze and require a battery pull. If it didn't reboot after a few mins I would shut it down, start it back up and just start opening apps again, eventually it would happen. Without doing this process my phone would reboot about 8-10 times a day when using it.
When using the same process multiple times on the new phone it hasn't rebooted once so I think it was just a bad phone.
Running LP and only had 1 reboot in 2 days. I will say it sure is laggy on LP though...

Hey guys
Just curious if you have experienced this with your unrooted factory GS2 yet.
Last Sunday my phone refused to boot up, it would get to the S on the screen and then shut off, no boot up music etc.
I finally got it to start up but then it would just completely shut off and reboot again.
That issue seemed to stop about 3 hours later and all was perfect until this evening.
Used my phone all day at work and once I got home without any problems but then about 40 mins ago I was getting a million pop ups on my screen that every Google application/service had unexpectedly quit and needed to close?
I rebooted and it would be OK for about 2 mins and then start all over again and I cannot open any app.
I have just let it sit here and every 5 mins or so it plays the boot up music while it is on sitting at the lock screen lol?
No apps have been installed or updated over the past few days so I have no clue if it is a software issue and it needs a factory reset or it needs to be warranty repaired due to a hardware issue?
Appreciate your input on this one
Cheers
Nothing eh?
Ok. Problems I have encountered the 2 days I have used the phone:
Constant freeze. The first hour I used the phone it froze and rebooted 7 or 8 times.
Missing SocialLocation.apk. This caused a problem for the GPS in smart actions to work at all. Rooted phone and installed the app, and problem disappeared.
Tried to hard reset the phone because of all the rebooting problems. Guess what, on the first menu coming up where you can choose language, the phone froze and rebooted again. Now still it is constantly freezing and rebooting.
The freezing issues does not really have one specific app causing it. It can happen whenever doing whatever!
Anyone got a solution for this? Maybe a OTA update for Norwegian model?
Well, as my dad's phone is still fine as of now with not a single reboot in 2 days, I'd suggest you get in contact with your carrier and ask for a replacement. This seems to be a phone defect and you should be able to get your replacement easily. Be sure to not mention rooting and installing SocialLocation.apk though!!
You rooted and removed some files from the System, did you not?
Hello guys,
I own my Samsung Galaxy S4 I9515 (Value Edition) for about 2 years and since a few months I've been experiencing annoying issue: phone started to get restarted by itself. Sometimes it restarted just once or twice and started to work for few days, but then it restarted over and over again in the same time, like in the 'restarting loop' so I was not able to launch it in the end. Sometimes, but not always, taking the battery away helped, but few times even this didn't help as so I had to either reset the phone to factory settings (wipe) or even install the official Samsung software from scratch (using Odin for example). After such reinstallation it was working for few hours, but as soon as I managed to install all my apps it started to restart again.
Finally I decided to return the phone to official Samsung store for guarantee repair. First time, they told me the issue doesn't happen in their service so they only reinstalled the software (what I also did myself before). The same day when I got my phone back, I restored my apps from Google Play and it started to be restarting again. Because of that, I return the phone to Samsung again. This time they told me the same, that the problem didn't happen during their tests, but they advised me to buy a new battery as with the current one phone seems not to work correctly. So I bought brand new, original Samsung battery, restored my Google account on the phone again, and... It happened again, phone has restated for 10 times during one hour
Do you have any idea why may this happen? Or how can I check what is happening? Does Android store some logs somewhere to see why it crashes and restarts?
I suspected two things:
1. Memory card - I thought memory card could make it happening, as to Samsung I gave the phone without it, but I tested it yesterday with no sd card and the same happened.
2. Apps - as I mentioned before, every time I reinstall the software I add my Google Account and apps start to be installed from Google Play, and mostly after that phone starts restarting again. But how can I check that which app is causing that? On the other hand it would be weird, as I'm using my Google Account on the other Android phone with the same apps and nothing bad happens.
Maybe you have any other idea, would be appreciated, because neither me nor Samsung official service couldn't solve this issue.
Thank you in advance!
Just wondering if the good people here at XDA can help.
My note 2 will not keep time, It does not mater if I set the settings to automatic or manual. I have installed clockSync and my system clock continues to lag behind after synchronization. After a few minutes it off by seconds, after hours it is off by minutes. I recently restored my phone from a soft brick. I am not positive if it started right after the restore or not. The only think I have not tried yet is a factory reset. Just not sure if that is the issue. Also not sure if they are related but my bluetooth does not find any devices either. Is it just time for a new phone? I would like to finish unlocking the bootloader and install a custom ROM, any chance this would fix these issues?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!!!
