Help Phone sometimes resets on its own....

[Connectz]

Is there a fix for this? Why is it doing this? Oh yeah, 4 day old EVO unrooted with 2.1.

See, my hero is rooted with villainrom 12, and I just replied to someone else having the same issue. So rooted or unrooted doesn't change anything, problem still happening eitherway. Good to know. But I only have that problem when i visit large heavy websites with lots of pictures, maybe cache is overloading and crashes rosie when exiting the browser?

see if it's the GPS triggering your resets. Open up Google Maps or something. The GPS was what was triggering my resets, a hard reset fixed it for me.

Agreed. I was using Spring Navigation and my phone rebooted twice a couple of minutes into a phone call.

It used to reboot before the previous OTA update a few weeks back. I thought it was weak 3G signal related, but it could have been GPS.

Would be nice if this was fixed in this upcoming release.

This is what I got in the other threat, maybe this will help.

Rosie restarting is not the same issue. That is due to minfree being set too high, so when your phone needs more RAM it will start killing processes. Unfortunately Rosie has quite a high runlevel so is not seen as essential by minfree and will be closed. Try turning down your settings in AutoKiller. You can also lower the runlevel of Rosie in Autokiller but this cannot be saved so will be reset if you reboot.

Thank bluenova if it helps anyone please

I have same problem. I have noticed that every time it happens I am also using GPS.

I have had the same problems with my phone, I had installed a bunch of Apps and then all the sudden when I turned on GPS and then used any GPS application the phone would reboot. I then went through and reset my phone completely and installed app by app individually and tested each one for the "GPS bug". It turns out "Trapster" was the culprit. When I have Trapster installed and then turn on GPS and then use any app that uses GPS (google maps, sprint nav, compass) the phone would instantly reboot. Now that I do not have that program installed I have not had any more issues and GPS works great!

What is Rosie?

 

[maximus192ad]

I have been using this and noticed it will sometimes reboot. (If I remember right, it also happened to be when I was taking a phone call)

Lately (prob in the last week) my Sprint Hero automatically resets itself if I hit the back arrow more than once. Sometimes just hitting it once will cause it to reset.
By reset I mean it goes to the white screen w/ the HTC logo & I have to wait for everything to come up, like I just powered it on.
Anyone else having this problem or is it just me? If it's just me I'll take it up w/ Sprint. If it's not me there's no point talking to Sprint, they'll just tell me to do a hard reset.
FTR I am NOT rooted & I'm not in any programs using GPS. It's mostly when I'm backing out of the web browser or getting out of a text message.

Join the club. You might want to try a full master reset and bring the phone back to factory specs and re load everything on it again.

i had this suddenly start to happen to my evo at the beginning of the month, 5 or 6 days in a row. i took out my red battery and replaced it with one of my 2 for $11 ebay specials and it hasn't happened since.

the wife's phone got exchanged out for the same issue, wonder if we should have just tried a new battery instead. oh well.

 

[Kelita]

This has started happening to me daily. No GPS involved. Today I was trying to open a message in Handcent and it froze, then rebooted. IIRC, this is the second time it's happened while opening a text.

 

[Quizshow]

Mine just did it while doing nothing, just listening to a podcast. First non-gps reboot I've had. I guess I'm on my way to a exchange after all.

 

[spar10]

try doing a search... this has been discussed in depth in several different threads.

try turning on the "always on data" setting.

The Froyo update has completely fixed this for me.
