Boot looping, usable for about 5 seconds. - RAZR HD General

No crazy apps or anything, it crashes when the radios try to initialize and grab service.

XdaII - Battery Problems

I am having problems with my xda2, the battery only powers the unit for around 5 hours.
This is when it is in standby mode, i.e screen off, no apps running etc...
Also has strange led behaviour, instead of flashing once every couple of seconds it will start to flash quickly after the unit has been on standby for about 5 mins. The led starts to flash dull green then progressively gets brighter, It will flash 16 times then go off for a second and then the sequence starts again.
Anyone else had somthing similar and how did you cure it ?
Thanks in Advance
If CPU consumption. If it is low ( below 10% at idle )
U should change the battery. this is no software problem.

Phone takes 30 minutes to turn on?

Turns out my phone was not stuck but it took 30 minutes to turn on. Why might this be?
My r800a is stuck turning on. It gets past the Sony Ericsson logo but then gets stuck at the rogers logo. Its been like this for 15 minutes. I pulled the battery and tried it but the same problem keeps happening.
My phone is rooted and is on Android 2.3.2
Rogers rapes the firmware?
Seriously, When mine had the rogers firmware it took foreeeeever to turn on. Not 30 minutes, but it did approach 10 minutes once.
Other than that I dunno man, is it consistent?
Verizon's version loads up very quickly ...30 minutes is crazy!
Well when I first got it it was 4-5 minutes. Right now it takes 30 minutes I've tried it 2 times and both were a bit above 30 minutes.
I actually just noticed something strange. When I am using a Live wallpaper it takes forever but when I am using a standard wallpaper its around 4 minutes.
I guess now I know to change my wallpaper before shutting down. Since I found a temporary solution it won't be that bad but I still want to know why this is happening. I may try a reset in a few days.
That's why I flashed uk generic... 25seconds on a turn on. If I installed a lot of Apps before the reboot, it takes 60seconds. Rogers was 3 minutes + everytime

[4.5.91] Anyone seen this weird crash?

It's pretty odd. What happens is I leave my phone in my pocket for a while. Eventually, seemingly through no effort of my own, I'll pull it out and it will be almost literally on fire. When I wake the screen up, I can see I have no cell connection, the battery is almost dead, and no services seem to be showing in the notification bar. Then, I unlock my screen, and there are a bunch of crash dialogs showing. Typically the one on top is that the Market has crashed and must be force closed. There are about 8 of these dialogs and as soon as I close them all, my phone reboots. After rebooting, I am in the same state. No services started and a pile of dialogs after unlocking, I have to pull the battery for several minutes to let the phone cool down, then when I start it back up it sits at the Rethinking Possible screen for almost 5 minutes and afterwards my phone is working normally aside from needing a charge.
Has anyone else seen this problem??
i think you should try factory wipe.
if no luck then flash it with gingerbread .

Reset to factory, call moto and request a new battery just in case. The battery should be free if you are still under warranty and they even pay for shipping.

[Q] booty loops

So it seems that my phone might be reaching the end of line. Whenever the phone starts to get warm it starts boot looping.
A Few Examples:
Talk on the phone for 10-15 minutes, as soon as the screen comes on after i hang up, boot loops.
While streaming music for a while and turn the screen on and start using the browser, boot loops.
Tethering and doing anything with screen on, boot loops.
playing any game for a short time, boot loops.
hulu plus for a couple mins, boot loops.
In order to get it to stop I just pull the battery let it cool off for a couple minutes and let it boot up like normal. I have never had it reboot while the screen was off. It also happens in any rom/kernel combination I have used. It also happens with my stock battery and the Anker battery that I have. Any opinions? Tips?

What ROM/Kernel combinations you using for example?
What's your flashing process, you doing dirty or clean flashes? Also any apps recently d/l'd?
Any over/underclocking. Same for voltages?
How old are your batteries, both stock and anker?

I had the same problem.
The problem was CPU halting because of too low voltage.
Fixed it by overvoltaging at the max clock via Incredicontrol.
Oem battery is 2 years old. Anker is 2 months old. Currently running v8 of digital karma, underworld kernel with stock speeds and voltages. I have never messed with voltages on my phone but I was thinking the same thing about the cpu getting unstable and needing more juice. Just don't know how similar phone and pc cpus are...

If I'm not mistaken, Underworld is an undervolted kernel by default. My phone never responds well with Underworld kernels, despite which rom I try.
Try using a different kernel and see what happens. Of course, there IS the chance that your phone is reaching the end of its life. My phone is acting all wonky, too, but in much less severe annoyances.

yeah underworld is undervolted. I upped the voltages to the stock setting outlined in the underworld thread.. Same problems. It happened on ics roms also with mason kernel and the prelude drew kernel. Contract with sprint is up in about 2 weeks ill just wait it out and stop tethering for coworkers, that should keep the heat down lol.
Might be am idea to check how many processes are running in the background too. I know Android is set to run better with ram being used but sometimes I think the system can get overloaded.
I forgot did you say the reboots happen with any scheduler, governor combo too?

on ics roms it happened with wheatly and smartassv2, on sense smartassv2 and ondemand. I have also noticed that it never happens when the screen is off.. I stream music alot at work and say after 2-3 hours of streaming i turn on the screen BAM reboot. I pull the battery and place the phone and battery in front of a fan for 10-15 seconds and it boots up and runs like nothing had happened for another 2-3 hours or even the rest of the day.
edit: Also I made it reboot after 10 minutes of streaming extreme quality on spotify app. I was happy it played without skipping with the terrible 4g connection i get at work! LOL oh well 2 more weeks til upgrade.
Maybe try to increase the min values of both the cpu and if you can the voltages for the kernel, since it seems to be happening when trying to wake the phone. Might be an idea to try increasing all voltages as well

I would just wipe EVERYTHING. Make sure to do a nandroid backup, and wipe the crap out of that thing. Partition your SD card, triple wipe data, dalvik, and cache. Then re-flash your rom, or try another kernal.

Long shutdown time?

Mine seems to take quite a bit of time shutting down or restarting. Anyone else have this problem? How long for your restart and shutdown? Times for shutdown and restart remind me of those for the Blackberry Bold 9900
Starting up takes a while, but shutting down goes fairly quick. I do have almost 400 apps..

Mine starts fairly quickly but takes forever to shutdown. Even with no apps installed it was taking forever to shutdown.
