Anyone Getting Random Reboots?

[IHateMyTreo]

Since the KK upgrade, I have had random reboots. Not while doing anything, so I have no idea what triggers it. I'll just look at the phone on my desk and see that it is going through the boot cycle. A few times I reached for the phone and it was powered down.

I have done two FDR's (thanks Thom ) and the problem is now actually WORSE. Two or three times a day.

Anyone encounter this before?

Anyone know if there is really an update to KK coming our way? Not sure I can hold out.

AS an experiment have you tried running in Safe Mode (disabling all apps you added without uninstalling them)? That would rule out it being casue by an app you added. (This is a great diagnostic tool on a system that has had a Factory Data Reset after it's last upgrade. The results are questionable if the Factory Data Reset was not done.)

Mine, at least so far, is stable.

No issues on my end. Been running great.

Have you frozen or removed any apps from stock since upgrading? You have to be very careful when doing something like that. I would instead recommend Greenify Module with the Xposed Framework. Instead of freezing or removing an app, this will hibernate them. That way, the app can still be used if you need it, but it isn't disabled which can help when it comes to a phone acting wonky like yours.

This does require rooting though, so if you don't wish to root, then I'm not sure what other options you have.

But, if you have frozen some apps, I would start re-enabling them (or enable all of them) and then start freezing them one-by-one to see which frozen app might be causing your issues.

If you removed some system apps (which means you're rooted), then you'll have to FXZ back to a stock image before you can start trying again.

Another user on another board was having issues with their phone acting up. He finally admitted to freezing/disabling some apps, but he couldn't understand why it worked under JB and not KK. Issue is, KK might have some apps that depend on the frozen apps that wasn't present before under JB.

Otherwise, I'm not sure what else we can say. Are you on stock as stock can be? If you haven't made any modifications to the system (root, freezing/disabling, removing bloatware), then I'm at a loss because my phone has been working just great.

Thanks Bolski.

I am stock, no root. I HAVE disabled a number of stock apps: all the games, Google + and all Smart Actions, the latter two to reduce battery drain.

I'll reinstate them and see if that makes a diff.

Reboots continued. Got a replacement phone that arrived with Jelly Bean. I am NOT accepting the OTA.

I have had a few random reboots as well, the most annoying being last night while on a call. I had to wait for it to start back up and load before being able to call the person back to apologize for my operating system.

And, yes, before anyone asks, I did a FDR after the update.
