[Q] All ROMs cause constant reboots - except CM7.x

So the title says it all really... Only CM7.X series actually works correctly on my device. All other ROMs that I have tried either cause the phone to reboot itself after an undetermined time, or lock up the device and I have to pull the battery.
Sense ROMs are the worst for reliability I've found. They will reboot randomly with seemingly no reason. I've been playing with IceColdSandwich 8.0+8.1 recently and can reproduce a reboot consistently by opening maps and scrolling it.
I would be quite happy to stick with CM if the INC-S was getting CM9/10 in the future, but this doesn't seem to be happening.
So how can I stop the rebooting/freezing in all these other ROMs?

try wiping your partitions when flashing rom. there might be a corrupted system file or something

I've always fully wiped /data /cache and the dalvik cache when flashing new ROMs since I read that it's safest to do that from a ROM reliability standpoint.

try format everything else except sd card in the list

I've formatted all partitions except SDcard and am still able to reproduce the reboot by scrolling in google maps for 10-15 seconds.
I should mention that the reboots are not limited to this, it will also reboot during phone calls or other general app usage, but no where near as frequently, and it is not reproducible like the GMaps reboot.

Try clearing maps data. Are you on the new just released maps? Because the new Google earth completely froze my phone once I found my house:3

I have cleared maps cache and downloaded a map for offline use as well, same problem is present. I have the latest Gmaps but the problem was reproducible well before this as well.
I don't think maps is the problem since it happens with old versions of maps too; but rather causes the phone to use something else, which causes the reboot.
Is there a way to see the kernel logs after a crash like on desktop linux?

Do a search mate. There's a way to get a logcat of a crash just not exactly sure how to do it

If full wipe doesn't work. then try to change your SD card. Without backup your data. Just to see if reboot occur again.
This suggestion maybe sound stupid, at least, you can give a try

Backup your SD-Card on your computer and wipe/format it afterwards (FAT32). Maybe that helps...

My guess is that the issue is Radio related. What's your version?

I have wiped all partitions (save for the SDCard) and reinstalled IceColdSandwich 8.1.1 and have currently gone over 24hrs without a reboot, even trying to force one using the GMaps scroll.
Radio is: 20.2810.30.085AU_3805.06.0316_M
I would link to a pic showing all the info but it seems I'm not allowed.

Hi, sorry for breaking in, but seems like I have a somehow similar problem with my Incredible s:
The phone starts up fine, but will run only for 1-5 minutes before spontaneously rebooting when on battery power.. This never happens when connected to PC or charger, and phone seems to stay alive "forever" in Bootloader (Revolutionary-screen), but leaving that even for Recovery does the "trick", and again it will reboot after a short while. :crying:
Doesn't matter if SD and Simm are inserted or not!
Have tried all I can think of:
Fix permissions, different roms (GingerBread (stock/ some other) and Ice Cream Sandwich (IceColdSandwich)), of course cleared and formatted all partitions, tried different Recovery's (currently Touch Recovery) and radios (S-OFF'ed to do this after problem started), even have heat-gunned soldering for battery-connectors (yes cleaned connections as well), and heated a little where charger and battery seems to "relate", and have also tried another battery with similar 4-point connection (works, but same same) so what else to do??
The problem started two days after replacing a smashed digitizer with new one (from eBay), and after a two hour car-trip with GPS and Navigate on, but no charger, in a hot front-window; the phone just exactly reached to run flat out of power, and when I recharged it shortly after arrival, the "fun" began..
It clearly looks like a battery problem, but the battery seems in perfect condition. Could it be the unoriginal (cheap) digitizer? Mind you the phone worked flawlessly for two days with that ting..(?) Or should I invest in a new battery even so (please see pic.)?
Again sorry for intruding the string, but have searched a lot without finding anything more similar, and didn't want to open a new string for this.. Maybe this one will come to live again, with a new post... :fingers-crossed:

Your problem sounds like its hardware based. I was unable to prevent the phone from rebooting and so have gone back to CyanogenMod 7.2 where the frequent reboots do not occur.

Well thanks again for a plausible suggestion, but just now tried my guess (from post here above), and sadly still no go! Didn't even let me finish Setup (after installing Gaps) before rebooting itself ..
Already had a thought about HW power management myself, but kinda fought it off, as the idea didn't become me, however that probably is the thing..
Who knows a little something about the s710e PCB, to guide me messing the right thing(s)??

There is a stable release of CM 7.2 out now on the official site. I would provide you a link but I'm not allowed to yet.
I would suggest checking the MD5 sum and full wipe before installing it. If you are still having troubles then I would look at the hardware as the problem.

Once again tanks! Found it and tried it (I always do full wipe between roms), unfortunately still same result.. But what MD5 sum am I supposed to check?? (Where, how?)

Mate, your problem is obviously hardware-related. You should go to htc service center if you want your device to run again.

Agreed.
Now and again you can get a bad download, which is why you check the MD5 sum against the orginal, but if this is happening with every ROM you use, plus the fact that you have already replaced parts on your phone with non-original hardware, leads me to the conclusion that you have a hardware defect.

Help Note Freezes, Hangs, Unmounts Sd card

Hello
i have been having in the last few months many issues with my Galaxy note - which was running the official GB and then official ICS
the phone would freeze for a short while (5 or more seconds )- does not responed when buttons are pressed in this freeze position
would suddendly from that position go into the lock screen and sometimes just restart over and over a good few times
Notification would pop up at random - saying the External SD card is safe to remove
it could last like this for a good long while (upto an hour or more sometimes )- doing it over and over again
Even when i rebooted and pulled the battery - still happens
it would do this randomally - could be couple times a day - or couple times per week -
in the end i had enough and yesterday i rooted my phone with the speedmod kernal
that was ok the root and i did a clean wipe of internal SD and re-intalled everything back onto the phone today
and again now its happening all over again
freezes / hangs / safe to unmount external SD card
RIght now - its stopped for a while - but overall phone seems pretty unstable
When i first got the phone -running official GB it seemed ok
and then more and more apps came along and i think it slowly started to happen
its happened with both GB touchwiz towards the later part before i updated to ICS stock with Apex
my phone is sadly not working as it should
would really appreciate advise

Remove sd card for a day and see if performance improves. If so, stick your sd card into pc and chkdsk it, sounds like it might be failing.

thanks for your reply
as i also wanted to check the external SD card - i did the chkdsk and no problems were found
thinking that it could be the card itself i found the link below and have now re-formatted it
http://www.simonjstuart.com/2012/07/06/format-a-64gb-microsdxc-card-for-android-using-your-pc/
says to make sure its formatted with 32kb clusters -
so i am now putting all the data back on and will see how it goes
if anyone else has any other suggestion please let me know
thanks

i have the same problem you have
i did every thing i could but no use
and iam still looking for an answer
what happend to you did you find any thing ?

so i have tried another external SD card in the note
and pretty similar things happened all over again
which makes me to now believe that its an issue with the note itself
its happened to me using official stock GB and ICS and also rooted version
2 different SD cards tested - 64gb and 32GB
i am now reverting back my devise to stock kernal and reset the binary
then off it goes to the repair :crying:

I had a similar problem, but without the SD card issues. It would freeze/hang for varying amounts of time. Sometime just a few seconds, sometime more. I got a app monitor widget and whenever it would hang up, I tried to check the monitor. Screenshots below...i hope.
AT & T replaced the phone last week, and no similar problems thus far.

Weird crash issue....

Okay, since I've got the phone, it's been working without a problem.
Until yesterday...........
First off, I tried making a picture of a 'small' spider I saw in my living room:
I wanted to try night scene mode, but for some reason I couldn't change the scenes, the 3 dots to select a specific scene was grayed out for some reason.
First I thought that I might have disabled an ap or something that prevented me from using manual mode, so I enabled some things that I previously disabled . it didn't work.
So the next thing i did was clear the data from the camera ap and extensions. That didn't work either. (After each step I restarted my phone, just to make sure that the changes were applied)
I tried using background de-focus, just to see what it would do, after making a picture though the camera kept showing the saving animation and it never stopped, pictures I made after that weren't saved at all...
A few minutes later I could suddenly access manual mode and all the scenes again, taking (or saving) pictures was still laggy/not working tho.
I ignored the issue....
I also use the phone as my alarm, to wake up early from work....
But guess WHAT! This morning my alarm didn't went off and I overslept and my battery suddenly had 50% remaining, when I went to bed 6h earlier, it was on 93%. My clock ap crashed and that's the reason why my alarm didn't went off.
I rebooted the phone and tried accessing my alarms again, but I couldn't get to my alarms, since my clock ap kept crashing....
I had no time to look at the issue, since I barely had time to prepare for work, normally I drove to work with some music from my phone, but even Walkman refused to play anything........
I decided to do a factory reset, since I wouldn't lose a lot of stuff, but used ultra stamina mode to preserve some of the battery while I was at work, since my battery was still depleting really fast! When I switched back from Ultra Stamina to normal mode, the issue seemed to be fixed, so i did no factory reset in the end.
This issue is really weird, but the weirder thing is that THE SAME EXACT THING! Happened on my Xperia Z after a year or something (Only on a stock Rom though)
Is there anyone that even read my entire story (that i just typed) And is there anyone that had the same issue as me? Because it's really annoying me!!
Here are some screenshots:
Some help would be very appreciated!
(CPU Z Showed Processor 3 almost on a constant 2.2GHz)

3 or 4 days ago I had similar issue with my z3c, same with my sg2 year ago. with sg2 problem was with broken audio file (.mp3) on my card that makes device to constantly scan my sd card and not to sleep so that time I checked all my music with audiotester app, found some broken ones and repair them with MP3diags. Issue was solved and never happened again. hope that will help

MP3 diags
Audiotester is standalone exe file program, just open it and drag&drop music folders there. won`t take much time
First of all use Audiotester because it works MUCH faster, then MP3 diags to repair.

E6533 Dual Lagging and restarting itself & wifi lag

In the past couple of days for no reason my phone when ringing to receive a call will freeze and restart itself, hence, missing the call, I can see the caller ID but no luck answering, upon restarted the call will not be on the call log. It doesn't matter if phone is idle or using an app, any app. I've lost a couple of important calls today. Happens on both lines.
Has anybody had this happened? I'm thinking of a factory restore, but will accept any suggestions before doing so.
Also, when leaving a wi-fi connection, ie: driving away from home, it takes about 3 or 4 minutes lagging, and then it will function normally, what I have to do now is shut wifi off prior to leaving the house or the office, untill I get to a new spot, but sometimes I forget to turn it back on and my plan is running, any ideas?
Both issues I don´t think are related.
I'm on Android 5.02, build 28.0.A.8.251, haven´t done any rooting, just like it came out of the box.
Thank you in advance.

maybe you can try repair your phone through PC Companion,
mine got OTA update right after i got it out of the box, if yours was the same, maybe that's the cause.

Do you have GPS turned on? What apps are you using? I think this might be an app related issue..... I also hate losing data and customizations I've done and opt always to stay away from reseting etc....

Thanks for the tips..

You did factory reset or restore from pc? Also after that did you restore data with a program or pc companion or your started over?

A lot of whatsapp (at least every 10 minutes) Mail, Facebook, Twitter, a couple of videos, some games.
This is what Xperia is supposed to be I guess

[ASK] Random Reboot problem

Hy guys, i want to ask. But first I want to let you know that this is not my phone, I use this phone only temporarily, but I am here and asking because there is something that makes me (sometimes) feel very very upset and frustrated.
This is my brother's phone, and he also asked me to help him in fixing the problem I was about to ask...
The problem is: Automatic freezes and reboots
That simple isn't it? But the impact is big, during that phase I can only use this phone for only a few minutes because my phone keeps freezes and auto reboots, basically during that phase, I can't do anything, all I can do is wait until it returns to normal or turn off my phone for a few minutes which is obviously quite long, more than 10 minutes going like that (freezes and auto reboots). Version number 52.1.A xxxxx (I forgot, there are clearly 3 numbers at the end), I tried to downgrade to version number 52.1.A.3.92 but it didn't change anything.

oh yeah, the trigger is a change in everything related to connectivity (WiFi, bluetooth, gps, sim card, etc), even when activating auto-rotate. Hard reset, flashing, downgrade, reset connectivity, nothing helps. Can anyone provide a solution? can downgrading the android version or using a custom rom help? is this just a software bug or a hardware problem?
thank you

I'm also having the same problem. Is there any solution?

I have same problem
My xz3 is so01l
I guess ta broken
Who can help fix?

hey i have had this problem for months now. Recently I flashed to a custom version (originally on SOV39) and i rooted my device and the problem still persisted. However, I found a temporary fix without messing with the hardware.
By disabling the sensors and then rebooting. It stopped randomly restarting and I can even use the device with airplane mode turned off while having all the internet functions working.
You can find it on Developer Settings - Quick Settings Developer Tiles - Sensors Off. From there you can just toggle it off on the Quickbar menu and reboot the device. Hopefully it works for you too!

I have same reboot problem, only restarts after a min in normal mode. Works fine in flight and safe mode

I took a notice it can be the cell radio as it is off in plane mode.

I find side sense and one hand mode. Is it the things to turn off? I have the same problem, works fine in flight or safe mode. Some wrote it could be the cell radio.

I have checked for the updated version of Android System Webview as another wrote in another thread it could be that by going to Apps and Storage - Play Store. But it is not on my phone so that can't be the problem for me. I have turned off 2 sensors, side and one hand mode but it restarts after a halv min in normal mode.

I tried the same solution (update system webview) and didn´t work for me, I´m currently performing a software repair to see if it helps, the thing is that my phone doesn´t reboot as often but still it´s upseting me.

I was able to partially solve my problem with my phone, I took out the black antenna frame and very carefully placed transparent scotch tape (because it´s thinner than medical tape) in all the contacts that are marked in red in the atached picture but now I´m thinking that I shouls have placed tape also on the places marked with green.
So what change I experienced on my phone with this method?
well the phone now has Network and wifi signal all the time and very ocassionaly it does lose the network and wifi signal for a second but when this happen the phone does not say that there is no sim card and does not freeze and restart, it just recovers signal by itself and I can continue using the phone.
