Help Dx2 crashes every minute or two

Itisonlymee · Oct 27, 2012

Hi,
having major issues with my dx2. When I try to play games they have a very hard time opening,most time I force close them 3+ times before they open. Then after opening they force close after a minute or two. This is a ongoing process I endure all day wherever I'm at,good network connection or bad,that doesn't seem to matter. And my social apps are the same,crash crash,crash!!! Oh the agony and stress.. its defiantly the worst when sending and receiving messages. Any help/input would be greatly appreciated ..

Thx

Welcome to AF Itisonlymee!! Glad to have you here and sorry you are having crashing issues.
Have you tried a hard reset? Pull battery (if possible) wait a minute, then reinsert battery.
Or a factory reset...but you will lose your data, apps etc.

But if it helps, that may be a solution.
Here is a link to your phones forum to see if others have the same issue

Motorola Droid X2 - Android Forums

Is your phone stock or rooted at all?

Itisonlymee · Oct 27, 2012

I have tried several things including removing the battery. I've cleared caches also,don't think I want to do a reset. I will check the forums and see what there, thx.

Itisonlymee · Oct 27, 2012

And the phone is stock still

Itisonlymee · Oct 27, 2012

Yes, the phone is stock. I've been researching, trying to figure this out.. there has to be something out there ,I just dont want to lose everything on my phone. Although cyanogen mod 7.2 sounds kinda interesting.

Did you move any of those crashing apps to the sd card? If so, move them back to phone and see if that helps.

Edit: or do you have any task killer installed? If so, uninstall the task killer...no need for those

Hello and welcome aboard.

Your device might have been corrupted or an installed app has gone rogue.

Another option (if not doing a reset) would be to uninstall all your installed applications until you find the culprit.

Note: If push come to shove, you just might have to clear storage to get things back to normal.

Best of luck.

The apps seem to be stored on phone, so that doesn't seem to be the issue, thx tho.

Itisonlymee · Oct 27, 2012

Ill try uninstalling some apps first. Will clearing storage make me lose precious data that might cause other issues? ?

Mikestony · Oct 27, 2012

If the "clear storage" is anything like the Evo4g's "clear storage" then yes, it is like a factory reset.

Itisonlymee · Oct 27, 2012

Uninstalled quite a few apps. Nothing yet for progress.gonna try doing something with the task killer. Don't know if I can uninstall it tho,it came built in but I'll check that out.

Itisonlymee · Oct 28, 2012

Looks like I'm going to try a reset/wipe. Is there anything I can do to save my pics and music and contacts?? Been trying to share my files with SD card but it doesn't seem possible. Any last help would be appreciated .. thx

Itisonlymee · Oct 28, 2012

Everything has been synced and backed up to my Google accounts, think I'm going for it,scary!! Wish me luck....

Sorry for the late reply, I moved your thread there for your device.
Your pics and music should be already on your sd card.
Your contacts should be synced with your google account, if, when you entered a contact from your phone, you saved it to google.

Tried to download cyanogen 7.2 but it is not supported. Now what. Any help would be good,thx

To install the CM ROMs make sure you are on stock 2.3.4 Gingerbread. You may be on 2.3.5 which wont work. Here is one of a few links on how to perform an SBF to 2.3.4 Once you are there you can flash CM7.
