Random Reboots
 

Hey guys, i mentioned this in my earlier thread, but i really want to see if anyone else is having this issue. My droid will reboot very randomly, sometimes it cycles at the droid boot up sound, sometimes it will stay on for about an hour or just five minutes. Anyone else have this issue?

Re: Random Reboots
 

Nope... mine is fine. Did u try resetting it again?

Re: Random Reboots
 

Yep, tried hard reset. Even took it to VZW store, and of course it doesnt act up while there, but as soon as i step out the door it reboots.

Re: Random Reboots
 

3 hours in and so far so good.

Re: Random Reboots
 

For you guys not having reboots, any apps installed yet?

Re: Random Reboots
 

yeap pandora radio, accuweather, compass, swift, couple others probably

Re: Random Reboots
 

Just got about 10 times worse. Cant start a call without it rebooting. Off to verizon again.

Got my Droid last night, it froze the screen and rebooted over 30 times. On three of the screen freezes I had to remove the battery. Took it in this morning and they did a factory reset, but that didn't help. They replaced with a new phone which has been going now for 4 hours without an incident.

eeek, do I smell a bad batch of these little buggers running around? :silent:

Re: Random Reboots
 

Got a replacement, and its working beautifully now :) so I'm guessing it was just a lemon. Vzw said there will be a firmware update on december 11 as well. Talk about an early planned update!

Re: Random Reboots
 

:woot: glad you got one that's working. weird on the planned update, what could they be updating?

Re: Random Reboots
 

The update is supposed to have bug fixes, "stuff you wouldnt notice" (i think we will notice it being the geeks we are, hopefully a hole we can exploit for root), she also mentioned that their will also be another update in jan. Weird they already have 2 planned updates now...

Re: Random Reboots
 

I know one thing they plan to fix is the camera focus. I haven't found anything else that needs fixing yet though. :)

Re: Random Reboots
 

Make sure your NOT USING the Privacy Protector on your phone... they've been recalled. If you've got one - thats whats making your phone unresponsive or shutting it down.

Re: Random Reboots
 

I can see the screen becoming unresponsive but how is it figured that it shuts the device down?

Re: Random Reboots
 

Something along the lines of the way the car dock works.. doesn't make sense because its magnet based.. but it sure does shut it down. :(

Re: Random Reboots
 

Hmm, I can verify that it does not shut mine down as it is on my phone now and I don't have the issue.

Re: Random Reboots
 

Blazingwolf- good to see you got a droid! I havent been on the site in about a year, good to see at least one familiar face :)

Re: Random Reboots
 

no reboots on my device - going strong 24plus hours w/o even a shut down

installed a few apps too; pandora, bar scanner, weather channel

Re: Random Reboots
 

had this issue with the first droid i picked up, faulty hardware, took it back to best buy for a no hassle replacement and haven't had a single issue since, i love this phone

Re: Random Reboots
 

ya mine does it all the time too.....hmmm back to vzw or back to my iphone....

Re: Random Reboots
 

Take it back to VZW. a new phone shouldnt have that issue. I went through 2 droids to finally get my 3rd that worked!
