I'm out of my wits... I spent the past 6 hours hard reset the phone (double wipe + reinstall all the apps) and now it is happening all over again, rebooting about every 3 minutes. Google you should really fire your QA team!!!
Same here! Go back to 2.3.4 GRJ22!

Last night, I went from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 via OTA, and my phone has not stopped re-booting since (every 1-3 minutes)!
I've yet to do a hard reset, as I was hoping coming here to XDA and find that there was another way - without having to do so.
But after reading your comment above, this doesn't give me much hope - that a hard reset will even work.
There are 2 open tickets on this issue with Google, many have said that a reset worked for them, and some say removing the Facebook app worked for them, or removing whatever app(s) is running in the background.
This really needs to get fixed ASAP!
Well I guess I am off to do a hard reset, in hope that I am one of the few lucky one's that this gets fixed for. Ugh!
Update: Since doing a hard reset (not wiping the SD of photos/music), it seems to be working now. I did lose (for some odd reason), some the photos associated with my contact list, no biggie - I'll just add those back.
But otherwise, so far so good (knock on wood), no more reboots. Just a real PITA to have to re-install my apps. Oh well, it is what it is... hopefully it continues to work, until Google's next update/fix for this problem.
Also, hopefully the tethering still works, as I haven't tried it out since doing the reset.
Reboots reboots re......
Cant get 2.3.6 to work. Hope ICS comes ASAP (and with FLASH!!!)!

I'm asking since I complained about this issue to HTC customer service and they recommended a factory reset due to a possibility that the Gingerbread update had created a conflict with the previously installed firmware.
Either that or possibly a defective main board - which would require me to send my DZ in for repair (Oh, the horror of being stuck with my emergency phone, a Nokia 6300, for three weeks!). And that would probably not fix anything except if they gave me a new phone right away.
The former option might be worth a try even though it sounded like complete horse crap but I just wanted to make sure before having to re-install avery app and set up my homescreen all over again.
The issue is killing me! So far I've had two random reboots today, both of which happened with the screen off and no apps open. It has also happened a few times while playing Angry Birds Rio and in the middle of a phone conversation - the latter being the most annoying.
I have same problem. Reboots and homescreen restarts. I red that fa reset not working on homescreen restarts on another forum.

I did a factory reset after updating to 2.3 yesterday i havent noticed any problems yet but its been less than 12 hours since i set my phone and all my apps back up. Prior to doing the factory reset i noticed some minor interface errors including one homescreen reset but no actual phone reboots. Must say the look of the new sense including the quick settings in the pull down bar was well worth it

So factory reset is the best way to fix bugs, i see that factory reset can solve all of its. Good news
Thanks for your feedback, guys!
I think I'll do a reset tonight if I can find the time.
Will report back if this fixes the issue

Same problems here, from time to time I hear the HTC boot sound, meaning it's been restarting by itself. At least once a day. Also I often get the Sense iterface re-loading after I use some apps. All of this happened after I updated to 2.3.3, before that it ran flawless for more than 8 months.
I'll factory reset these days, but I really hate backing up, installing and configurig everything again.
Me too. Stock 2.2 to stock 2.3 unlocked. I was so annoyed that I uninstalled all the programs that kick in at start up (like British Airway's app, Continental, Sky News & so on & my phone now works like it did before, no restarts, no freezing, nor Sense restarts (unless I'm installing a lot or uninstalling a lot of programs)...
Sense restarts as there's low RAM in the device right? And when it's super low, it restarts the whole phone?

Been getting the same on DZ update when it came out for Europe. And it literally made me switch do CM7. My line of thought was if I was going to do factory reset I could as well switch to platform which will give me more up-to-date Android on updates...
Ok, so I went through the tedious process of doing a factory reset and setting my phone up all over again.
This was on Saturday and I've had no random reboots so far. What I did have today, though, was my phone suddenly being dead until I removed the battery, put it back in and turned the phone on again. This has happened many times before with 2.2.1 and is a known issue but this is the first time it happened after upgrading to 2.3.3 - hopefully also the last.
Sense is still restarting constantly
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
The same for me. Some of the problems are gone after the factory reset, but Sense keeps reloading after I install/update apps in Market or after using some apps. It never did that in 2.2.
Dead phone issue happened again just before *sigh*

A little update:
The factory reset seems to have actually fixed brightness setting itself on max even though Sense often restarts.

Hi guys just got my s3 couple of hours ago white 16gb for sprint. I tried searching for the issue I am having and no results, so I am posting here. I did the initial android setup and everything was running fine for first 15 min and then phone keeps freezing and restarts, I did many battery pulls and same thing. It would work for min or 2 and freezes and reboots. Then I put the phone on charge and used it for several minutes and no crash.
So I unplugged the phone when the battery was at 52% after charging for more then 45 min, and same reboot issue is back. So I was wondering if anyone else having this issue.
Thanks for all your help in advance.
if you didnt flash things, which i dont even know what you would flash and how at this point, i would say its broken, and you should go get an exchange. Hopefully youre the only one with the issue, ever.
i guess you could try a factory reset, which i would assume you can do from recovery, to which you would maybe get to by powering off, and holing volume up and power(once again, just an assumption).
p.s. i am impatiently waiting untill best buy gets 32gb version in stock so i can trade in this lte evo pos.
i did many factory resets and battery pulls and same issue. so i got tired and called in for exchange, they are sold out right now but will send one out as soon it comes back in stock.
Did you do a hard reset from recovery?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using XDA
any particular app installed that might be causing this? :crying:
Yes I Reset it from recovery and did factory reset 4 to 6 times, No apps installed. As soon as i start navigating through menus it freezes and then reboots. Sometimes it also freezes at sprint logo while restarting, i have owned 200+ phones never had a single android phone with this kind of Issue.

Do you have a sd card installed? If its from a older phone or s2 it might be the problem too. Back up everything in format the card then see what happens....
Thanks for all your help guys !
I fixed the issue by wiping cache partition and factory reset. Before all I did was factory reset but didn't do wipe.
No crash so far

I think I have a problem that has not been covered yet. I have an Acer A500 that works just fine but will randomly restart. When it restarts it always hangs at the Acer logo. I can then hold the power button to turn the tablet off and then turn it back on again and it will start up fine without issue but will then restart again a short while later. I notice it happen maybe 10 times a day, possibly more. The other day it went a couples hours without a restart but eventually did. My students can play games, get on the internet, etc just fine until it resets again. I believe it has only reset when in standby but I cant say for sure.
The OS is up to date. I tried a hard reset and reset with the OS to factory settings several times without luck. It can have 100 apps on it and reset or no apps on it, it doesnt matter. I notice no difference in turning off the wifi. It doesnt seem to reset on a schedule.
Any ideas? It sure would be nice if my students could actually use the tablet rather than have it sitting around doing nothing.

If it's running stock ics, it's a common issue. Blame Acer and their buggy rom.
You could perform a data reset but that wipes all user data.
You may want to install custom rom, but you will need the tabs cpuid and skrilax_cz unlocked boot loader plus a good couple ours for prep and installation. See the root guide in my Sig for info

I received my 32G model on Nov 28. Firmware MDA89D. Pure stock unmodified in any way. Not even using screen protection or cases. Setup as a new device, not copy from another existing device. I've been getting randon freezes and crashes. When it froze, it did not respond to any touch input or any key input. The only way to get back is to hold down the power button to do a force reboot. It seemed to have settled over the last few days. What I do have on an ongoing basis is crashes. When I use Google map navigation, the phone will work for a few minutes and the screen went black followed by a reboot. It did it on 2 consecutive days already.
Is it just me having this problem therefore a defective unit or is it the OS / Software problem.

That is strange...I haven't had that kind of behavior on my Nexus 6-works without a problem-never freezes or reboots...now I know the Amazon app would do something to my Nexus 6 I don't know what but when I install it-my phone with reboot randomly or shut down...ever since I uninstalled it-no issues-for months.
Try running safe mode and see if it does it again-that way you will know if it is an app that's causing the issues. This is how it's done: http://www.greenbot.com/article/2923927/how-to-restart-your-android-phone-into-safe-mode.html
You can always try a factory reset as well....have you tried updating to the most recent factory image from Google?

I've been experiencing the black screen freeze frequently since getting the phone only a couple days ago. No other lockups however. Also running pure stock.
I too have the same issue. Screen goes blank and lock ups. Also running pure edition...
Same. Interestingly, in my case, it seemed to happen most frequently when using Hangouts.
I have another post that describes random reboot and I believe they are related. Long story short. I believe either the factory reset + software update fixed it, or it's a hardware problem problem. While I wait for the replacement, I only had one random reboot. Of course the new phone is rock solid. It's only been a couple of days. I would have a few by now if I'm still on original phone _ original firmware.

I'm having the same issue. So no random freeze leading to reboot with ur rma device?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
What I'm trying to say is don't panic and RMA your device. Do a factory reset and make sure you're on the latest firmware. Mine was OK after the first self-reboot during setup after factory reset but has been good while waiting for the RMA to arrive. To answer your question, the new device has been perfect but it's only been 48 hours.
I am facing a similar issue with my Nexus 6P, can anyone please help me with it?
On any rom, whatsoever, I get reboot when I turn the Google Maps Navigation On.
After few minutes, phone just reboots
I havent yet tried stock, any idea how can I find the root cause? I have cleared data for maps, also I have tried to uninstall maps with TiBackup and installed fresh from Play Store

Yup same stuff going on over here with mine. It locks up and reboots even after clearing cache and rebooting only a few hours earlier. Have done 2 factory resets and am on the latest OTA update. I also noticed that I have to clear the cached data every day, sometimes multiple times a day to keep device running smoothly. This really concerns me with a device that's less than 2 weeks old. I also have only a handful of basic apps( Fb, YouTube, Spotify). Really thinking about returning it. When the phone runs right its great, but all the issues make me nervous. Might be time for a Note 5? I am just getting used to this phone and would hate to leave it though. Interested to see if the first major marshmallow update fixes these problems.

Mine actually had one random freeze and reboot after factory reset then nothing for 48 hours after that. Of course I rma'd mine and I'm glad I did. Screen is on the colder side with even volume speakers on the second unit. Sending my original one back.

I'm just about ready to RMA. I've tried factory resets, cache wipes and just recently updated to the latest stock MDB08M. It was fine for a day or two but now the lockups are increasing.
As others have said, by any other metric this is one of the best phones I've had. This freeze/reboot thing is getting annoying and even if it isn't happening to every user it's happening to enough to be of some concern.
I'm facing app closures, my gmail app keeps crashing, it happened on my graphite nexus 6p, and now same thing on my frosty 6p. Its not just gmail, it's also chrome now. Maybe i should have not restored from my previous device.
what's this?
I came to this thread expecting a lot more of a technical discussion (the site is called xda DEVELOPERS after all).. but instead all i see is "oh my phone is crashing.. i'm gonna RMA this sucks) posts.. moving on to android enthusiasts on stack exchange thank you very much
upgrading to 6.0.1 fixed it!
upgrading to android 6.0.1 fixed it!!
From power off or restart to the screen lock.. takes 1 minute and 40 seconds.... seems very long to me.. My PH-1 is stock and never rooted and always went through the OTA updates and is current and up to date on Android 10.
Thoughts
My first thought is it may be time for a factory reset.
have you tried safe mode?
Never timed mine until now. Just got curious... Regular restart: 1:25 from tapping the button in Power menu to the screen lock. Faster than yours, but not by much. Seems normal to me, consistent with what I've been seeing with this phone.

Thank you for timing yours! Just ran mine again with the stop watch on my Smart watch and it came in at exactly 1:52:78 so it is a bit slower than yours. Think I will try a factory reset and then time it before restoring everything from the cloud and see what I get. :highfive:
It seems due to the November Update.

Yes, seems very long. Mine takes about 35secs & that was with me putting the wrong SIM pin in the first time (I stoped timing when the clock appeared on screen (and my always on VPN had started, so could have been even quicker)
(I'm using a pin for unlock & was connecting to mobile data. Wonder if there is an app that runs at start up that could be slowing you guys down?)
64 seconds from cold to lockscreen for me - stock rooted 10.
I use SD Maid and selectively disable boot from a lot of applications - You would surprised be how many apps think they have the right to launch every boot and sit around in the background.
Magisk scripts can take a while to complete and will slow down launch too, a lot of modules would probably slow it too.
A little bit of housekeeping would probably help, a reset and restore however could just restore the same problem again....
After a factory reset without a restore it took 18.22 seconds from powered off state to the lock-screen. After a full restore from cloud backup it now takes 22.51 seconds from power off state to the lock-screen. Also the phone is way more responsive like it was when I first bought it.... Guess it is true what I have read online... best to factory reset your phone from time to time.
I get occasional long boot times, mostly after an update or similar. I haven't hooked up to adb during boot in awhile, but typically if you are having a long boot time the odex optimizer is probably re-running.

So mine had some issue & I lost data connection & wifi, couldn't fix so rebooted & now it's really slow to reboot. Did you have any issue with data/wifi. (I run a vpn so thought that might have been the cause, but even with it uninstalled it's still slow, though could have been initial cause)
Also since then installed this months security update but it still slow (over 1:30), update tons took about 30min as app optimising was so slow.

I would still do a factory reset.
Same thing happened to me with painfully slow boot times. Factory reset and restore, now boots in 25 seconds from switch on to lock screen.
i did a factory reset and it still takes over 2 min to boot.. accidentally wiped my phone trying ot install twrp..
then went ahead and installed lineage.. boots fast but can't get gapps to load lol

Note: Are you using MindTheGApps, still only recommended package (though someone got another gapps to work, can't remember which)
Also make sure you are installing gapps BEFORE 1st boot into Lineage OS, if not do a factory reset & install gapps then boot to OS
should work fine on LOS 19.1 (or use npjhonstone unofficial version which has it included with rom)
PS. Never hand issue with increasing boot times since installing LOS.
