I SBF'ed and installed Gingerbread on my DX this evening and love it. It was working perfectly up until about a half hour ago. I fired up Titanium Backup and restored most of the apps I had. I shut my phone down and restarted it. Since then... my phone just randomly reboots ever 4 or 5 minutes no matter what it's doing. I have too many apps to sit and experiment with all night to see which one is causing an issue, so is there a list of apps that will cause problems with the Gingerbread leak? I know Launcher Pro is one of them, but I'm using ADW EX.
Random rebooting after Gingerbread install
- Thread starter Bravozero
- Start date
I only have a few things loaded and mine rebooted a few hours ago. I am hoping it only happens the once. I had this problem before I upgraded to GB and was hoping that GB would fix the problem. I have noticed it only happens for me when I have music playing in the background while I am txting. I also have beautiful widget running as well so not sure if there is any thing with that. Not running any app killer. so if it happens again I will post it on here. I figured I would list my apps running in hopes that it will help.
Figured out what the problem was. I wiped the phone and started over this morning. Titanium Backup works just fine for me, so I used it to reinstall about five programs at a time, then I would restart the phone, let it set for a few minutes. If it didn't reboot, then I would install five more... and so on. I got to the DroidX Overclock app by Jrummy, configured it and restarted it. Without missing a beat, 3-4 minutes later it reboots itself. I've disabled it in TB and it hasn't rebooted since.
Apparently, Jrummy's DX Overclock app doesn't play nice with Gingerbread, so just as a heads up for you all. Now the phone is running beautifully!

I've been overclocked since he updated app without issue. Make sure latest module is downloaded and don't restore it with TB
Ah, I will uninstall it completely and download the latest version from the Marketplace. Thanks!
I have the same problem but I don't have Droid X Overclock installed. I also notice that it'll reboot after unlocking from the PowerAmp lock screen as well as when I receive a text sometimes (I use Go SMS Pro). It also happens more frequently when I'm running Launcher Pro.
There are a lot of moving pieces and I'm not sure which is to blame. I can't believe there aren't more people out there that this is happening to.
Does anyone have any more insight as to what may be causing the reboots? My phone used to also reboot randomly on Froyo, but I had always thought it was because I was running ROMs, but now I don't think that's the case.

A number of apps haven't been optimized for GB so you cant expect all will work flawlessly. I have already started modifying and installing customized apps without issues. The only crash I had was once I installed Droid X overclocking, TB has worked flawlessly other that the email constant sync issues which was easily fixed with Data and Cache wipe.

Here's something good for a change. I was getting reboots on stock Froyo when I would slide to unlock. This was happening maybe twice a day. Since last night when I installed GB, it hasn't randomly rebooted at all. *crosses fingers*
Everything is working perfect for me after 5hrs. I reinstalled all my apps and widgets with no problems. TB working great and adw ex launcher too.
Same for me. Now my wifi is crap. If I use it my DROID doesn't get any data. I have to plane mode to get data going again.

Having the same issue. Rooted GB installed...using GO SMS..approx. 1 out of 10 times it does a "soft" reboot where it doesn't seem to run a full system reboot but definitely turns off and goes through the M and Droid Eye then it opens right back to the text received. I use TB as well but my best guess is GO SMS
I'm experiencing the same issues with Vignette, TapeMachine Pro and Camera Illusion Pro. Trying to do anything with either of them completely crashes my phone, and I need to use them quite often.
I'm looking for info on how to go back to froyo.
