I have the same problem with reboots. I bought mine almost 2 weeks ago and the first thing i did was to install Infusion rom from tillaz here on forum (i followed every step of the install guide from beggins and installed perfectly, OTA update from B02 to B04(944 now)) and it reboots atleast one every other day. I have no extra apps, nothing running in background, most of the time its just pure pocket time, and today i missed an important call cuz its waiting on the enter pin screen from about 12 till 7pm. I live in sweden, use 3G, UMTS:3, baseband 2030, kernel 3.0.8-pref-00245-gf3d97be android@localhost#1. It hasent onces crashed or failed or had dropped call or something "not working" just the hard reboots so i have to enter pin everytime it happens, very annoying.. I still have a couple of days i think before my refund time runs out and i want to be sure i cant fix this before i send it back, because i kinda like the phone itself!

Thanks

Root, put on CWM, backup and then flash this kernel.

It mine has not been running for over 41 hours no reboot, including the spooky weekday lunch time crash time.

Keitel, have you definitely solved your problem with this kernel?
I tried this with INFUSION B04, but I still get a few reboots per day, while I'm on 3G of course (UMTS:3, HSDPA:9), and now on the latest CM9.
I went from stock GB with 109808 baseband using this guide http://www.modaco.co...date-root-more/ , so my last update.app was B936. Is there any point to try some other RIL, or something else??? Thanks...

Edit: I followed the pattern today and I noticed that reboots happen when I'm on UMTS:3, while I'm on HSDPA:9 I didn't have reboots.
I really don't have any idea what's the difference between UMTS:3 and HSDPA:9.

Could it be b944 causing the reboot?

[Keitel]

I had one reboot with 936 OTA and Pauls #19 kernel over about three days. It seamed very stable. I never had a Wifi issue with OEM, or Pauls Kernel

Since then I have switched to CM9 and have had three reboots in less than one day. Had a couple of WIFI hangs also but I think that is a known issue.

I may go back to 936 / Pauls #19.

Glad to hear that I'm not the only one!

I started having random reboots only after I rooted, unlocked the bootloader & installed CWM on B936.

On stock Voda B936 (that was upgraded from stock Voda GB) I had none. But I didn't like that rom much, found it very slow and had tlots of bugs (yeah, I know, lots of features also, compared to GB).
And every custom ROM I installed after that had random reboots.

The only solution I've found is to go back to GB, upgrade to stock B936 and... try to find a custom ROM that you can install without root or CWM. I didn't find any, though.

[clauscdi]

@vhristenco I agree with you, started to get random reboots caused by 3g connection only after I rooted, unlocked the bootloader & installed CWM
I've tried different roms so far, I'm on CM10 right now having same issue

[vhristenco]

I tried all the custom ROMs I could find and all had random reboots.
So I'm back to GB until I'll find another rom I can flash without unlocking bootloader (I really think official ICS is crap).

[clauscdi]

Have you tried to root and unlock bootloader on GB rom? If reboots are caused by 3g connection they should appear on every rom, even GB I think.
What do you say about that? Is GB fully functional if rooted?

[kawicant]

Hi,

I've patched via 927 RIL and after one day no reboots...its HDSPA 8...and looks like works well.

[vhristenco]

@clauscdi:
yes, GB works perfect after rooting/unlocking bootloader, not a single reboot. same for b926, b927 and b936. but after I root/unlock bootloader on any od these 3 ROMs, reboots appear.
I didn't try the RIL patches, though. I saw many people having reboots after applying these patches, too.

[clauscdi]

Yesterday I put 948 Singapore, rooted and unlocked bootloader, I had no reboots by now with 3g connected all the time; the rom has no fm radio, but is pretty clean and smooth, same as 944

For unlocking I used the file compiled by genokolar here http://www.modaco.co...2/#entry2050501

I flashed B926 RIL over the CM9 R3, and 24hrs with no reboots. My last (and the only one) update.app was B936, but B936 RIL didn't help.
I think everyone should try all RILs, starting from B926, until you find the one that works for you. A backup is of course recommended before you begin these experiments. Just to point out that I didn't downgrade to B926 using update.app, I just flashed B926 RIL over CM9. Good luck to everyone! :-)

Now I am testing genokolar file for unlocking device...after 24 works well

Edit: My reboots started again. I'm so pi..ed, I just wish that someone could explain exactly why is this happening.

[vhristenco]

bootloader unlocking, maybe?

[Buffalo Soldier]

I've done the famous imei zeroing and flashed B926 using update.app, and then of course rooted, unlocked bootloader, restored CM9 R3 and flashed B926 RIL. So far so good, no reboots today, will report back about further development.

EDIT: Reboots started again yesterday, so I can confirm that there is no method to stop this, except maybe not to unlock the bootloader, but that solution is not good for me. So I will keep it on 2G only, unless I need a faster connection for something.

I agree there is no method to stop random reboots, except maybe not to unlock the bootloader. Right now I'm downloading B952 update.app from Huawei, I will root the phone but nothing else. As soon as a dev will solve random reboots problem, I might install again custom roms.

[sssingletrack]

I've never had a 3G random reboot on my g300. I updated through the vodaphone UK updates to b952, then upgraded to the global b952 the official way. I then rooted and unlocked the bootloader to install cm10. No issues at all.
