Hey guys, I noticed that my phone is restarting by itself and then it comes back up it says 'Activation Complete' and I hit 'next' like when you first got the phone and then everything is back to normal (until it happens again). I have not noticed any ghost dialing or anything like that. It seems to happen when I go into an area or poor/no coverage, about once a day.

I am on rooted on CNA with franco kernal - version 4.0.3 with the 4.0.3 radios. I know, a lot of factors here that could be causing the issue but was just wondering if anyone had the same thing happen to them and or what it might be.
 
It could be "ghost dialing" and you don't notice it. Sounds like that is what its doing. If the phone can't get a signal (you say you are in an area with no signal?) the phone will try to update its PRL (*22899). I had it happen when Verizon had that outage back in December.

Also, a few people have reported this happening regularly without losing signal... so it could be a phone or SIM problem as well.
