View Full Version : OT: Random XDA Reboots

This is slightly off topic, but I figured this board was still the best place to ask (and hopefully get an answer).

Has anyone experienced random soft resets from their XDA? Often when I press the power button to turn on the screen it just resets on me. After the reset, I often have voicemail - so apparently while the screen is off, the XDA is freezing up not receiving calls or SMS and then reboots when I turn it on.

I have had this happen to 3 of 4 XDA's now. When this happened with my 1st two XDA's, I called TMobile support. They had me hard reset and when this did not resolve the issue, they replaced the unit (it took a day or two for symptons to re-appear). My 3rd XDA was replaced on an out of warranty repair (cracked screen at concert), leading to my 4th XDA which is my current one.

It is a Tmobile USA XDA. Right now I am running WM2003 4.0.11 and RS 6.24.

I find it hard to believe I've ended up with all these hardware defects. Which is why I wanted to ask other users if they've had this problem. I am debating re-flashing the Official Tmobile ROM, waiting to see if the problem continues and then getting another hardware replacement. My other thought was to wait for the Official TMobile WM2003 ROM and try that version. Could this be some software defect?

I noticed the same thing happening when I was running WM2003 4.0.11 and RS 6.24. It became so bad that I went back to the original Tmobile ROM and the problem disappeared.

Also, I heard this is corrected in WM2003 4.01 ( the latest tmobile update) that is circulating out there. But so far I have not gotten it and tested it.
