sometimes my phone reboots. at least once per day for 4 days
I have defrosted all my previously frozen apps.

clearly I can't take it back because now i get the little orange triangle when I reboot. (do we know how to change that back yet after we root)


other than the root and frozen apps.
everything else is a basic apps only moved 2 things to system
widget app picker, and sqllite 3. these should not cause a reboot.

few games
barnicle
samba server
root explorer,
juice defender (could that be it) I could down grade that if I need. I just disabled it.
titanium backup

The only thing I can suggest is backing up all your apps, restoring the factoryfs image here to make sure thats back to normal, and doing a factory data reset to clear /data and cache. Then restore your apps one at a time until you find the culprit.... if it continues again.

ok I downloaded the image from the other thread. I can manage that. you are a great resource. will this reset the traingle or am I stuck with that.


in other words does is get me all the way back to box new / unrooted/ returnable,
or just 9/10ths of the way

Nah, you're still stuck with the triangle until you flash back the original stock kernel.

Even then, the phone keeps a count of how many times you flashed a custom kernel to it, so, warranty is still void. I'm personally not going to take my time to learn how to reset it, I think its more fun watching the counter go up as I dev more. Right now I think I am on 25 or 26. :D

that's funny
I think the problem may have been juicedefender.

Mine has frequent restarts and Heimdall wont detect my phone in download mode. I'm going to hard reset it since I have my contacts and other important information is safe and then re-root.

<><EDIT><>
Welll, resetting didnt work. It still shows that I "dont have service" and that a "com.samsung.sync" could not run. Idk what to do and I can't take it back to Verizon because Superuser and Titanium Backup are still somehow on my phone...
