Random reboots

My Evo has been acting up lately. It randomly reboots at least 10-20 times a day. I thought it was probably an app causing the reboots so I wiped my phone and still does this. It especially doesn't like to stay on with the Navi on. It started on Myns RLS 4 and after flashing Fresh 3.5 and still does this. I've tried flashing different kernels from stock to Netarchys to kings to ziggys to alleviate this issue. I've even resorted to flashing the stock rom and kernel combo but no go. HW version 0002, latest radios, latest PRI, running Fresh 3.5, with Nets 4.19 CFS nohavs. Anybody running similar combos with the same problems please let me know what I could do to fix this issue other than to unroot and go to Sprint for a new Evo.

No fix because its a hardware problem unrest install a ruu and return it.

Yep, get it back to "normal" and take it in. Mine was in the same boat, it wouldn't reboot if I just let the phone sit there but once I launched the browser or navigation it would just reboot. Then it started boot looping. Maddening. Sprint was cool and seems like most haven't had issues returning / receiving with this issue.

I was hoping it was a software issue. I've had this phone since launch day and has been rooted since I got it. No problems until a couple of days ago. Looks like I'm going to have to unroot and return to stock so I can try to get another Evo from Sprint. I hope Sprint doesn't try to jerk me. Thanks guys

How'd you do that. Only problem I'm foreseeing is replicating the reboots. It hasn't randomly rebooted as of 11 am today. I made sure to talked to Sprint tech support so they can document my problem. As soon as I get home I'm unrooting and going to stock. Tech Guy told me Sprint repair center should just swap my phone the same day

HAH one guy tried to get me out of there, I left my phone there for 2 hours and they couldn't get it to reboot. They gave me a new battery and said that was the problem. LOL I got it to reboot in two minutes in front of him. Suffice to say that was that. Be polite but firm.

OK. I appreciate your help guys. Surprisingly my phone hasn't done a single reboot since I posted my question. Funny

So finally after taking my phone to a 3rd party repair center, raising hell with Sprint, and taking it to a corporate store I got my new Evo. First store I took it to were no help. Told me my phone had liquid damage without even opening my phone, I never dropped it in water or exposed it to water. Called Sprint and customer service was no help, call got escalated to customer priority service next day and they told me to take it into a corporate store. Tech reset my phone and my phone still randomly rebooted in the Store so they had to give me a replacement phone. New phone was a version 0003 and had the radio and rom that shipped on launch date. Rooted my phone and installed Flipz's rom with net's kernel immediately after getting home. Problem free since. I noticed that new phone uses a different panel. Screen seem to look more natural in terms of color. Previous Evo had a screen that was unusually bright and had light leakage around the capacitive buttons. Battery life is fantastic for some reason because I was running the exact same setup previously and I was getting around 9-12 hours on a full charge. I'm getting between 12-17 hours between charges in the past 5 days I've had this replacement phone.

Phone is stuck on 1x service

I've been stuck on 1x and no svc bars all day, and on and off yesterday. Keep getting the data roaming message.
Called sprint and they ran me through a bunch of trouble shooting, as usual, but could not resolve it. She said that my internet wasn't updating or something. Opened a service ticket and told me to take it in to the store so they can check the device.
Anyone have this problem before, and how did you fix it?
I'm currently running srf 1.2, genocide 2.0, honycomb fusion explosion theme, ec05 modem, and I have an airrave.
My wife's epic is also stuck on 1x, and the blackberry on our extra line also says 1x with 1-3 bars.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

My issue isn't that similar, but recently was the first time I've even seen "1x" on my phone. I literally have never seen my phone on 1x before, in fact, I thought it wasn't even possible on Sprint (Like, I didn't know it had the same name).
If all your phones are stuck on 1x, then it is most likely something with the service. You already did everything I could think of, so I'd just take it to Sprint again and tell them that it's been happening for a while and you've already been to a store, but it's becoming a real issue and you shouldn't have to be charged for a service that does not provide what they have offered, or something threatening like that.
Hope you can fix the issue soon,
Acer

I feel better knowing someone else also is experiencing this. Since like Thursday I haven't had a reliable 3g connection whatsoever I keep getting the "1x" icon also.

Same...wonder if it's something up with Sprint.
I literally haven't seen that phone have the 1x icon in the 13 months I've had it.

I've had trouble, but with updating my PRL and Profile. Once I read this, I've kinda conviced myself that somethings up on Sprints end, and not ours. Could this be part of Sprints Network Vision in action?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

It could be the airrave. I had trouble getting a 3g connection the first time we set ours up.
________________________________
Roll Tide Roll!

Same here with 3 epics for 2 days, called Sprint and had them push a refresh on all 3, then I updated prl and profile on all 3, been working for about 10 hours now on all 3.

Wow! I knew I would get some response to this, but not that everyone is having the same problem...lol! Well, that sucks. I wondered about the airrave, but I mentioned a few times to the phone rep that I had one, and she never said anything about it. She did say they were no problemswith the service in my area. I'll have to see what happens when I leave for work tomorrow. Does make me wonder if sprint has something brewing that is messing up everyone's service.

Back on 3g today. Not sure what the problem was this weekend. I had no data when I got up, but rebooted the phone and so far so good. Full bars again, at home. I did switch roms last night. Installed miui with the data fix just to see if it made a difference. Didn't make a difference last night, but its working fine so far today.
Going to reset the airrave after work anyway, just in case. Are you guys back to normal today as well?

There's a glitch with the e4gt that I think was the issue with Los

Ok so whenever I reset my ram with task manager my radio crashes and when it comes back on it says roaming then jumps back to Sprint service. It also happens when using ##3282# wether I go to edit or view clicking on evdo will crash the radio. It did this on every build since I got the phone. Its nothing major like b4 when rebooting was the only way to get back in service. Just wanted to point it out bcuz I know its not normal and never experienced it with the og epic.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

Its not a glitch that is supposed to happen. When u clear the RAM it stops all apps and processes from running. That us why that happens. Actually that was used to help get rid of LOS rather than rebooting cause it resets the radio.

Ok but why does it do it when accessing ##3282# and clicking on evdo from both the edit and view option? Also mind you it did this on my EG30 firmware when I got the phone. I disagree for the simple fact my phone always did this from day one. Clearing my ram always crashed my radio on eg30 so how is that new? Don't get me wrong I believe they did find a way for the phone to not have to reboot when it happens, but that right there is not it. Its a hardware flaw..

Also let me point out that my og epic used the same task manager and clearing out my ram would not crash my radio.

+1....clearing ram does not crash my radio
sent from the near past

Clearing apps and ram from the built in task manager does not, and never has, crashed the radio on my phone.

Did any of you two that never had this happen ever had a LOS occur before the fix? I'm no pro at being a super geek but I know when something seems screwy with my electronics...
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

I got my phone about three months ago approximately. It must of had eg baseband on it because it immediately updated to ek02. I don't know if what I think Los is, is actually what it is. I thought it was, when you woke up the phone, you would discover that the 3g and bars were gone and replaced with a circle with a slash through it. Am I mistaken?

Your radio will always reset after ##3282#.. It resets to apply any changes. Just the same as after a profile or prl update.
But should not after clearing apps in task manager.

No the heck it shouldn't! I'm not even applying any changes! All it takes is for me to click evdo from whichever option wether edit or view. Mind you my screen freezes fir a short min when I do go to the evdo setting. Maybe I should make a video bcuz i'm tired of people saying this is normal. I bet the people who said they radios do not crash when they clear the ram won't experience this issue. If this is normal why the same option on my og epic which I still have doesn't do this screwy behavior?

Ok that's good to know. I got the phone on December and I never got one either. However I did experience the no signal popping up whenever I shut the phone off every once in a while. Never happened again after I upgraded to ek02. I'm just trying to get some info b4 I decide to go to Sprint and swap it out.. Now if those other two guys who don't experience radio crashes when clearing ram would let me know if they ever had LOS prior to ek02 I'd gladly appreciate it. Its just the whole thing has me skeptical..

I have both phones, and both perform the same way. As have the hundreds that I've troubleshot in the last three years at my store.
Sounds like you have heard your answer countless times, your just looking for feedback that follows what you want, not the actual facts.
Its not a crash. It will show a crossed out circle, flash connecting to voice(the 1x icon), and reconnect to 3G. If it isn't reconnecting, you have an issue. But, it will always reset.

1st I'll start off by saying two people already said they don't have this issue in this thread. 2nd how those the 1x icon show before reconnecting to 3g when Sprint disables the 1x from all their 4g phones from showing. And lastly I am glad you experienced the same behavior on all the phones you've worked on. I however didn't have that same experience. Anyways I already spoke to my friend (who works at a Sprint store) and he assured me his doesn't do it and if I would like I can come in to the store so he can order me a new one. Which I will do...
Edit: PS how dare you say all phones do it when I have my first epic 4g in my face and it is not doing this? Smh

[Q] What do you think??

Here's what has happened....
I purchased my SGS2 Saturday April 14th, I rooted it same day, I flashed TDJ Warefare. I noticed on the 4th day after getting my phone my calls started to drop like crazy. Like every other call was dropping or they couldn't hear me. So I called Tmo they walked me through troubleshooting, that didn't help. Took it back to the store where I purchased it this past weekend the sales rep said it sounds like it's a bad sim card. Ok so they changed my sim (of course I rooted again tried Jugganuats this time) and the phone was working fine until yesterday it starting dropping calls. SO I took the phone back and they switched it with a new one.
I would like to know from you all should I try rooting again?
Please don't flame me for asking this question or if it's in the wrong section of the forum.
I would just like your honest opinion as to what If I should or not and if I do, is there a solution to the dropped calls????
Thanks all

Rooting has nothing to do with your dropped calls. your first phone was defective.

I did I have a new one now. I was asking should I root again? I just don't want my calls to start dropping again.
Let me ask you since it's not the rooting what do you think it could be??

Did you do a factory reset before taking it back?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

Rooting will not affect the signal or radio. Would suggest that, stay on stock ROM for a week or so and see if you get drop calls. If not, then try another ROM and if you get drop calls after that so it has to do with the ROM.

If IMEI is intact, it's a T-Mobile issue. I was replying to say that I've had this issue before, once. I was going to call them to complain, but it was fixed in under 24 hours.

Sometimes if you press the issue they will replace it with a comparable model. They certainly have the T999L in stock if you want to ask if that's a possibility. Dont expect it to work, but could be worth a shot...

If the flash doesn't help, wait another day or two and call back if it doesnt improve. Tell them you'd like to have a help ticket escalated because their last attempts did not help. Just try to get them to put you in contact with a tech who has the ability to deal with things on a more specific level. Most likely you only got the first level of support. They don't have many permissions to deal with a lot of issues. A lot if them are told that account resets will fix everything it seems like!
Hopefully though, things will jusy improve as they work on towers and upgrades.
