Guest BarrySamuels Posted March 6, 2011 Report Posted March 6, 2011 If you are running the official 2.1 on your pulse could I ask a big favour? Would you install and run 'Stability Test' by intostudios? I've been having my Pulse,running official 2.1, reboot from time to time and I wondered if the phone was faulty so I installed 'Stability Test' and the longest the phone's survived is about 29 minutes before rebooting. I don't know if that is significant or not but if I can compare it with others it may tell me something. Thanks!

Many of the official 2.1 roms are in fact beta roms from Huawei and are notorious for the reboot/sms bug. The only stable 2.1 I've encountered was the latest UK one. You could also try installing a custom rom for froyo goodness. Tom G's effort is quite stable and very usable. Check the pulse beginner guide here Edited March 6, 2011 by hunk74

Check the pulse beginner guide here I am talking about the latest version not the previous version that was soon withdrawn. I don't want to do anything which might invalidate the warranty.

My phone can go for weeks without a reset. Edited March 6, 2011 by hunk74

My phone can go for weeks without a reset. This is my third reinstall. With the previous two I was lucky to get 10 minutes before another reboot and it would reboot at the slightest excuse. At least now it seems generally stable but it definitely doesn't like mapping applications e.g. Google Maps. What do you mean by 30 mins. of 'standby time'? I was talking about 30 minutes of running 'Stability Test'.
Guest hunk74 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Posted March 6, 2011 In that case I misunderstood you. Sorry, can't be bothered. Can't see myself going back to 2.1 anyways.

I have since decided it's probably a faulty phone and will send it back for repair. I tried Google Navigation (with voice) earlier today, got halfway out of the parking space when the verbal instructions were cut off mid-sentence as the phone rebooted. That convinced me that the phone was probably faulty.
