Default Weird "soft restart" / force close???

I am using JVQ Sensation Rom with the JVQ semaphore kernel atm.

I sometimes get some weird "soft restart" / force closes.. no idea how to better name this issue.. let me describe:

The Phone screen turns black, phone vibrates one time shortly, then it comes back to life - media scanner is running, my connection bars show a "stop sign" like they do before or when you don't enter your pin at start.. but shortly afterwards the normal connection bars are shown and I do not have to enter my pin.

If I listen to MP3 or had some other app open at the time of these "soft reboots" they are no longer open and the mp3 playback stops when this reboot occurs.

---

Does anyone have a clue what this could be? I dumped logcat into a file and looked through it myself, but couldn't really find anything on my own.

I cannot really reproduce this error, but it usually happens when I do had a few apps running or had recently used the phone it seems.

I am thinking maybe it could be the garbage collector / memory free thingy that then kills the launcher or something - could that be it?

Or is this known problem or smth? I don't really know what to search for in the search function - I'm sure anyone had this before, but no idea how to find a thread about this error.

Bump this. I was on a vibrant rom (revolution) I have a captivate. I used darkcore kernel and jk4 modem. Worked fine for a while...but did that a couple times a day while I was listening to Pandora on my bt headset.

Default It's a problem, started from 2.3.3

This problem,affecting all 2.3.3 releases!!
There is also a thread in Q & A section but not many people paid attention to it.

Every 'now and then' phone slows down for moments, till the point that, it reboots itself or give force close or freezes so you have to turn it off.After reboot, it good to go again for ~3-4 days and then again same thing happens.

I read in some threads that darky rom also has this problem but I don't think its darky rom problem but stock Gingerbread itself has something wrong.

If it does not reboot and you don't power it off then you have to wait ~1-2 minutes before its comes back respond.

1. SD card formatting, already ruled out in thread in Q & A. I formatted the card but it simply happens again.

2. Less RAM can also be ruled out as I tried to open as many apps possible without closing them but Gingerbread was doing memory management very well and no freezes.

Expert please give your opinion, how can we get it fixed.
