Droid 2 rebooted itself

[silverfang77]

I took my Droid 2 out of my pocket only to find that it had rebooted itself for no reason. It has never done that before. What causes this?

My D2G did the same thing today when I was in the middle of typing a txt!

No idea what could have caused it.

Never had that happen in the month's time I've had my D2. In all fairness though I've had it happen relatively often with my Blackberry Curve (work device). All these devices are far from being perfect so they are not exempt for oddities and crashes. My iPhone 3G had crashes at times as well. Not excusing it, just saying it's not out of the ordinary.

My D2G just started to do it and it is only 7 days old. And at the same time I started to lose widgets on the home page.

Yeah, my D2 rebooted itself yesterday. Android is still pretty young, and it could be from any number of apps that you have installed.

I have recently been having the same issues. I got the phone at launch and it's only been in the last two weeks. What I find odd about it is that under About Phone>Status, the "Up time" indicator does not reflect that the phone restarted.

Next time see if it locks up or just reboots could be a kernel panic. Could be you ran out of ram who knows you would have to catch it while running a logcat to know for sure what's going on. Best bet is to keep using it and hope it doesn't happen to often and its fixed in an update

Then you had a soft reboot

 

[silverfang77]

It probably did run out of RAM. I use a lot of widgets and have a habit of running live wallpaper a lot. :-D

I don't know I get a daily soft reboot so I've become used to it. But that doesn't mean I like it. Just got a reboot about 5 mins ago pulled my phone out of my pocket unlocked it 30 sec later it rebooted wouldn't even let me touch a button it fully locked up which I blame on kernel

My first D2 did the same thing. It would also freeze often. I gave it two weeks and it got worse. I returned the phone and got a new one. Guess what. zero problems. Phone is faster, more responsive and only crashes when I tell it to. I even have more things installed and running on this device.

does this happen all the time with the D2s

Had this issue with my droid x and ended up getting a replacement. No issues after that. Hasn't been any issue with my droid 2.

i've had mine for almost a month now and i havent had any kind of reboots unless i do it on my own cause of low memory (shift alt del). even when i had my blackberry bold 9650 it never did any kinds of reboots unless i initiated it on my own. then again i don't have much apps on my phone and i do know android is still in its infancy phase and sure these random reboots people are having will slow down in frequency or not do it anymore.

Same here, had mine since October 25th and no reboots of any sort. No freezes either.

My phone yesterday rebooted, but I lost the refresh notification and the phone stopped getting my emails. Took me all morning today to find the issue and it seems to have unchecked a box in the setup.
